To add my two pennyworth. They (FreeCEN) will not repeat Census that have already been done. "If you have already done a transcription of ANY large census area (in the U.K.) or year, then please contact me to discuss how we might use your considerable effort in conjunction with the FreeCEN project. By 'large', I mean an area transcribed of around 5,000 or 6,000 individuals as a minimum. " "Transcriptions are accepted by FreeCEN, either from its own volunteers, or from independent transcription projects, only on the understanding that FreeCEN will then have the right to make these freely available on-line, for non-commercial use. This will be an exclusive right in the case of transcriptions made wholly under the auspices of FreeCEN, using its standards and technology. FreeCEN has no intentions, and will have no rights, to attempt to benefit commercially in any way from such transcriptions, or from those obtained from independent transcription projects."
