I am pleased to announce the launch of the 1851 Wigtownshire Free Census Project. This part of the larger UK FreeCEN Project - an internet-based "free-to-view" database that will enable researchers to view details of UK Censuses between the years 1841 and 1891, especially the ability to search by surname across census years and counties. I am the county co-ordinator and I am sending out an appeal for transcribers for all Wherevershire parishes.
To take part, all you need is a computer. We supply everything else including the CD and the software. This project is a global on-line venture designed for ordinary family historians, wherever they are, who would like to make a contribution to our great hobby.
If you are interested in learning more, please contact me, Ron Tapp, at
