FreeBMD is still down.

When it's back up try putting in the ref numbers - one at a time as you think they are - for the quarter and area. Chances are you will get one list showing against one of the numbers and nothing found against the other number.

If you get some for both numbers then look at the images for a sample of each of those numbers to check which it most resembles.

Hope this makes sense!

Viv, I think I'd rather walk your dogs than try to decide whther it is 58 or 98.

FreeBMD is up now and on their scan it could be 58.
If you just put into the search box year, q , vol and page (58 and then 98) you can compare the images with the one you want. I'm not surprised the transcriber put _8

Did you see the e-mail Potty put up?

May be worth e-mailing them and saving money, believe they respond quickly.

Although you probably don't need the reminder - be sure to contact freeBMD with the correction.
