The scraper is in in the code folder.
My scraped data shows that I have are:
| Number of records per year | |||
| Scraped vs web portal | |||
| Year | On web portal | Scraped | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1800 | 45 838 | 45 837 | 1 |

| 1820 | 43 416 | 43 396 | 20 |
| 1830 | 38 953 | 38 948 | 5 |
| 1840 | 27 312 | 27 310 | 2 |
| 1850 | 33 802 | 33 798 | 4 |
| 1860 | 41 264 | 41 254 | 10 |
| 1870 | 73 899 | 73 878 | 21 |
| 1880 | 111 130 | 111 130 | 0 |

Most common titles in each year are:
