Hi Everyone I am a Co-ordinator for the Freecensus Project and look after the Durham area. I am just putting a message on the mailing list to let you know of the Freecen project and its new free to view and searchable website. The transcriptions uploaded cover quite a few parts of the country, including some for Scotland and also cover various years depending on the area. Unfortunately we have none on the website for Durham at the moment but I am in the process of validating a piece for Easington 1891 and we also have 3 others awaiting checking. So, hopefully in the next 2 weeks the Easington one will be on the website. If anyone would like further information on what is involved to join this very worthwhile project then please do contact me 'off list' and I will get back to you asap. I would also like to point out that Rootsweb fully endorse this project and they provide us with the webpages for the transcriptions.
