The Ancestry.com OCR generated Index is missing whole families and blocks of family names.. Check pages I posted Surnames are on the Film and Not Listed on the Ancestry.com OCR generated Index

Therefore wouldn't Show up in an Ancestry.com search..

I have now come across Thousands of Surnames Garbled/Scrambled by the OCR which are so tedious to properly correct it's beyond my endurance threshold. Names are on the Film and Not on the Ancestry.com Index..

Not to mention the whole blocks of Surnames totally Skipped. See Lynch Surname in above post, 11 separate families on film Not on Ancestry.com OCR Index..
