I agree there does seem a disparity in what is recorded and what is actually available to view on the database. This is why I said complain or at least enquire.
There are a few layers to the recording process and it is not until the FLO is happy with the particular record that they then promote it for public view on the database, but of course without them then the database is useless as the research tool it was set up to be.
Because of this Mark Lodwick has only 78 records attributed to him for 2011, whereas Simone Johnson who I presume is his assistant has 1200. So the question has to be asked does he know how to operate the system
and if he does then it would appear, on paper at least, that his assistant is doing all the donkey work and...is he worth the money?
I think this will show you that something isn't right with the Welsh record or maybe the FLO;
Mark Lodwick.....South Wales......78
Laura Burnett.....Somerset.........883
Kurt Adams........Gloucester.......747
Katie Hinds.........Wiltshire..........755
Peter Reavill.......Hereford
and Worcester....623
Nina Corey.........Cornwall..........780 (this is one of the sparsest counties in England)
I think you probably get my drift.
