Dave, the List Admin. has agreed to me posting this to the list. I've signed up for two of these but it'll need quite a lot of us to express interest to get it on to Rod list.

In the first instance this will apply to the 1861 Census for Herefordshire Shropshire Monmouthshire These censuses are *not* yet available for advance orders, but they *are* available to place a "request". The estimated price of each CD set will be £30.00, and it could become cheaper once initial targets are met. Details have been posted on the census project web page at: http://www.rod-neep.co.uk/books/census/index.htm You can tell us of your interest in these censuses by sending an email to: Herefordshire : hef1861@acdb.demon.co.uk Shropshire : sal1861@acdb.demon.co.uk Monmouthshire : mon1861@acdb.demon.co.uk Please send only one email per county! You will not receive a reply, but we will count the number of requests on a regular basis, and once the number nears the break even point then we shall go ahead with the project and send you an email to let you know. At the same time, the census project page and the shopping cart will be updated accordingly, and you will then be able to place an order. No doubt this news will need repeating on occasions to stimulate interest, and make people aware. The more "requests" that I receive, the sooner that these projects will be done. If there are lots of requests, above the break even point, then the price will reduce. Please pass this news on to your friends with interests in these counties!
