The working plan for re-indexing customer corrections to make them searchable works something like this...

1) Any database receiving regular updates (1901 England Census for example) gets re-indexed with each new post.
2) Databases that have a large number of un-indexed corrections get re-indexed when they reach a threshold of about 500 names. 1881 Wales is approaching that threshold now.

We appreciate your patience as we work to lower the threshold for re-indexing (it used to be 1,000 names). In the mean time, encourage others to submit corrections. The more submitted, the faster the cycle time on getting them indexed and searchable.

Best regards,
