>> Hi all
>> How would you like to have FREE access to all the 19th century GB
>> census? No more tokens,subscriptions etc.
>> Freecen, is aiming to do just that, a good start has already been made,
>> there are over 15 million entries on line and increasing all the time.
>> There are projects covering Berkshire, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire,
>> Oxfordshire, Somerset, Hampshire and Wiltshire.
>> Obviously though it needs volunteers with willing fingers to help us
>> finish the project.
>> Can you help please. It doesn't matter where you live in the world your
>> help would be much appreciated.
>> Requirements are patience, as much time as you can give and feel
>> comfortable with, a sense of humour and willingness to learn a new and
>> comparatively easy skill.
>> In return you will receive a pre formatted spreadsheet, jpegs of the
>> census pages which need copying, (although 1891 is mostly only available
>> in microfiche format) an on line help list and contact with the
>> coordinator for the area and a sense of achievement.
>> Please help us with this fantastic project.
>> If you would like to volunteer then please contact me with details of
>> the county/area you are most interested in.
>> Looking forward to hearing from you
>> Cheers
