Post 1983 is the one bit that ought to be accurate, as the index (so I understand) is computer generated.

I help a friend collect information for a one name study and she is really keen on accuracy...... For records after 1983 are we looking at indexed lists which may have been retyped a number of times.... or where do the lists come from.... Do they have transcribers like on freebmd?
