Hello folks,
I put out a plea a few days ago for assistants for the purpose of
transcribing the 1891 census from fiche supplied by the organisers of this
project and the response has been abysmal to say the least so I am trying
again! Please take a moment to read the following:
Copy:
I have taken on the task of co-ordinator for the Montgomeryshire
transcriptions of the 1891 census and now I am looking to recruit a number of
transcribers who will assist me in getting cracking on this relatively small
County. There are no global restrictions, no cost to you and all thats
required is a little of your spare time.
³The Free Census project aims to transcribe ALL the UK 19th century census
returns to create an online `free-to-view` database. The Montgomeryshire
project is part of this great effort and is starting by transcribing the
1891 returns for the County

All you need to take part is a computer and access to a microfiche reader.
We supply everything else including the microfiche and the software. This
project is a global online venture designed for ordinary family historians
wherever they are, who would like to make a contribution to our great hobby.
If, like us, you believe this information should be freely available and
available for free, please drop me a line at

If you would like to learn more about this project please go to
http://freecen.rootsweb.com which will explain all.

Thanks, Keith Roberts.
