    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.
    freereg.org.uk/volunteers/index.shtml

    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!

    Rebecca
