Following on from numerous threads on people who have unwanted certs (and I added in useful images from 1837) as these very often appear on Records Board. I received a reply from genes team to the affect that they feel it is a good idea and are willing to look at the proposal for the next update of the site. The proposal is for people to post one name at a time so they can be searched by name (similar system to trying to find board) any unwanted certs and images from 1837. I received my answer as usual in very good time (Thanks again Genes team) and I am optimistic that if enough people request this service it may become priority to Genes to give this a try. Maybe we could do add names here (similar to the petition for the 1911 census thread by Benjamin on records board), please add comments below and we can make an effort if you feel it would be a good idea & agree with what’s been asked of genes please add your name below and comments if you wish. Thanks Pat x

Pat I think this would be a good idea I am having enough trouble as it is, so if I could just work on one name it would make my life easier and then I would not be going round in circules LOL I hope this is what you mean? Debs.

Good idea Pat. I have hundreds of details that are of no use to me, because on Scotland's People you not only download the details you want, there are another two sets of unrelated details that may be of use to someone, that you get also. Christine

Yep, sounds like a good idea to me, even though at the moment I only have one superfluous certificate (I've been lucky I guess).

good idea, I have unwanted certs. Not sure about 1837 info, i think GC would need to get permission from 1837online to publish those. Ann Glos

Even though I don't have any unwanted certs, I think it is a brilliant idea. Nicola

Good idea. I'm sure all of us order the wrong certificate sooner or later. Well done Pat.

Yes count me in! It is such a shame having paid for a cert to find it's the wrong one, I'd much rather give it away than dispose of it. Thanks Pat. Linda
