Port Eynon and FindMyPast
« on: Thursday 30 March 23 12:57 BST (UK) »
I have had difficulty finding events in Port Eynon on FindMyPast as there seemed to be large gaps in the records. Recently, quite by accident, I found what I wanted but the location was transcribed as 'Ort Eynon'. Further probing revealed that this was not an isolated incident, so I reported it to FindMyPast. To date, they have found over 1000 instances of this error, and they are in the process of making corrections which, they state, 'will take some time'.

If you've had problems with Port Eynon and FindMyPast, it might be worth having another look in a few days time.

It is good to hear that they are attempting to remedy this error even if it does take a while.
