The individual books for each parish are available for a very modest cost, which is aimed simply at recovering the costs of publishing. Repeating the exercise is undermining the tremendous efforts of these volunteers, who have spent years working on this project, which is now complete. See www.dgfhs.org.uk for details. By all means work on those that have not been transcribed. That will be very helpful. Trying to undermine any family history society will be of no benefit to any researcher and may do great harm in the long term. Rene Anderson Hear, hear, Rene. I have quite a number of these booklets and they are so good. Judy
