1. Re: Project [1]
Hello, I don't think the problem will be in finding enough potential transcribers. I think we're going to have to solve a bigger logistical problem: How do we keep all these eager-beavers supplied with records to transcribe? Rick Elliott
2. RE: email addresses [0.982238]
Perhaps any queries about corrections could be directed to this list -then one person (or two or three depending on the workload) who has access to the whole range of years, could be responsible for the rechecking of data, and a correction could then be added in the appropriate manner.

3. Re: ??? [0.982238]
Hi Dick I believe what has happened is that Ian sent his message to "Richard" on this open list instead of sending off list. I think another Richard living in Spain volunteered his services earlier today to FreeBMD via this list.

5. Thank you for Finding More Volunteers [0.982238]
Hi Freebies, on the 17th of September I asked you all to forward a message to other Rootsweb lists, asking for fiche or new volunteers for FreeBMD. Thank you to everyone who did so and welcome to our new volunteers. No more for a minute please, I need a break! . Within the last 5 days, I've been inundated with 69 enquiries and offers to help transcribe, of which 51 individuals have already returned our questionnaire, and are been slotted into syndicates. This is wonderful progress, and gives me hope t
6. Problem with Data Checker? [0.982238]
Hi everybody, I guess this message is primarily intended for a technician working on this project but obviously I would be grateful for any feedback. I am a member of the syndicate currently transcribing the marriages of 1882. My syndicate coordinator submits the data on my behalf and we have had no noteworthy problems with submitting data to FreeBMD during the last 9 months. However, he has reported a problem with submitting the following entry which I generated using SpeedBMD: Price,Sarah,Crickhowell

Regrettably I am not able to help at the moment with transcriptions. I hope to join you again when problems at this end are resolved. In the meanwhile I would like to unsubscribe from the list. Best wishes to all Janet A'Lee
9. Mystery symbol [0.982238]
Hi experienced transcribers: I haven't yet received my first batch of entries to transcribe, but I am already doubting about the following: In the F1 "Help" file of SpeedBMD, Section 8 (Entering Data) I read the following:' ~ displays a grid of accented characters in which you use cursor keys to move around and Enter to select one' This is fine, except for one thing: I have no such key as ~ . I have a modern Compaq computer, with a new keyboard bought last week....... but no ~ . What is this symb
10. Willing to help [0.982238]
I am researching my family history (duh! - silly comment - everyone here is probably doing that!!) and will be doing some research at the LDS FHS in Etobicoke and/or Brampton, Ontario, Canada where, I see they have complete copies of the indexes. I am already incredibly grateful to BMD as I have already found two of my ancestors (Thomas Henry Wallis, pg 1d, 134 and William Johnson Bush, pg 1b, 159) in the data already transcribed. I would like to give something back so I am offering to transcribe some data.
11. Finding More Volunteers [0.982238]
Hi Freebies, Do any of you belong to a county mailing list for family history? I have posted the following to the Glamorgan and Devon Lists today, and have had a number of offers to help transcribing. If you belong to a List, I'd be grateful if you could pass on the details. Elinor Wood Volunteer Co ordinator P.S. If you haven't yet found the Rootswebs Mailing lists, these are well worth subscribing to if you are carrying out research in a particular location. http://lists.rootsweb.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
12. Introducing myself [0.982238]
Hi there I'm new to this list, so I thought I should introduce myself. I'm an educational researcher, but I'm more interested in my family history - firmly rooted in Yorkshire. I'd like to volunteer for transcribing etc - preferably something from one of my areas of interest, but as there are many of them I'm sure that wouldn't be too difficult. Unfortunately it's not easy for me to get at any of the records, so how would this work? I'd be really grateful if someone could explain to me how to proceed f

Hi Richard Welcome to FreeBMD. I'm glad that you sent this message, as the IRC overwrote your address! Thanks for your email offering to help FreeBMD. I'm the Volunteer Co-ordinator and it's my job to find you a Syndicate best suited to your needs. It would assist us if you would please complete the Questionnaire below and return it to me. We usually work in groups or Syndicates. The Syndicate leader will usually provide you with raw data or allocate to you specific events to transcribe. They will assi

Hi Freebies, I think I'll give up family history now I've seen the message below. Many thanks to those who posted to the Rootswebs Lists today. I have spent all night enrolling new volunteers. I'm overwhelmed with offers. Welcome to all those who are reading this list for the first time.

18. [FreeBMD-News] Three million [0.982238]
Hello, The FreeBMD database has now reached the 3 million entry mark. Congratulations and well done to all the FreeBMD volunteers! Than you everyone who has helped, in particular, with providing source to transcribers. Volunteers have been sending out fiche (often bought especially), printing out hard copy and sending that out as well as those who have been involved with scanning. Thanks are due to Darryl Bonk, in Canada, who has been scanning for the project. We have now uploaded 15 quarters of marr
19. New Transcriber [0.982238]
Can anyone give me advance on inputing to speedbdm. I have been trying to input data I had already obtained from my own research and instead of the batch header reading death, it reads birth. My question is how can I change the event on a batch already in progress ? Also, do you start a new batch for each quarter ? ann
20. NEW INPUTTER [0.982238]
Hi, I have just joined the list and hopefully the team of inputters of this important data. I have recently started volunteering at our local FHC so thought I had a very good advantage as we have nearly all the fiche right there. I have recorded many censuses for Ontario, Canada for the internet and many cemeteries for BCCFA (British Columbia Cemeteries Finding Aid) but would like to try something new. I have assisted in other projects for the LDS church because of their valuable assistance to their patr

22. Re: Project [0.982238]
Whilst I think 10,000 new additions a day is a huge achievement, if I read the numbers correctly there is little evidence that the rate is now increasing. It took about 4 months to go from 1M to 2M entries and it will be about the same from 2M to 3M. At 3M entries a year, that means over 30 years to complete the 100M. Let's hope that the admirable efforts that are being made to get more contributors pay off!
23. Re: numbers...AHHHHHHHHH! [0.982238]
How do I get myself removed from this website. I accidentally hit a key that apparently enrolled me as a transcriber. I am not ready at this time to volunteer.
