Data analysis revealed some interesting trends. From the information gathered in the test sample, it was found that in every instance that an individual was found in the FamilySearch family tree without a surname, that record was omitted from the SB&B database. From the 371 baptismal records extracted from Lasswade parish, 118 were not in SB&B. Of these, 53 records fell into this category of no surname. This data was evident in the test sample only, and not confirmed in the overall study. | Data analysis revealed some interesting trends.

Another common marker noted from information collected from both the test sample and the study showed that 54% of the missing entries in the SB&B were individuals that had church ordinance work done in the 1970s. | |||
