Freereg Leicestershire

Hello

Does anyone know if Freereg are looking for transcribers?

Thanks

FreeReg, like the other free sites, are always asking for volunteers and I'm sure they would be delighted to hear from you.

You can find information about how to volunteer at:

http://www.

We also have a forum which FreeReg uses for announcements and updates on progress so I am moving your thread over into that forum where it should be seen by someone with personal knowledge of the volunteering process.

Hi Sam,

I transcribe for FreeReg and if you go to the link provided by notanotherminer there is a section on how to volunteer.
From there, choose the county you'd like to transcribe for, click the coordinators link to send email saying you wish to volunteer - they reply with all the info you need, its easy!

At the start I was given a few very small registers, just to see what the work entails, then if you like it, you keep going on from there!
I transcribe a Wales county and messed up from day 1 - emails were going back and forth at a great rate of knots!! but the coordinators couldn't have been more helpful (and extremely patient!).
You'll get all the help you need with any problems/queries and its very interesting work, so go for it!
