A quick reminder to our members. If you feel like giving something to the genealogy community, FreeCEN (and others) can always use volunteers willing to transcribe entries for them.
If you think you might be interested, contact Bev here.

Hi Lesley
Many thanks for your message. All help is very much appreciated, we need people prepared to transcribe the census, people to proof read (check) the work already transcribed and also people prepared to co-ordinate projects for the different counties and census years.
Please get in touch if you fancy having a go at any of these tasks.

I gave it a go last year and thoroughly enjoy the challenge of deciphering the olde worlde handwriting.
I have also learned the importance of carefully checking the census images when working on our own research.
