Hello everyone This month's FreeREG update has completed and the following parishes now have new free records online for you to search.

Tipton - St John's, St Mark's and St Martin's have all had more records placed online, as have some of the Tipton NCs Walsall - St Matthew Wednesbury - St Bartholomew Wolstanton- St Margaret Wolverhampton - more to some of the NCs Many of these are ongoing. Please follow the link to see the records available - http://www.freereg.org.uk/parishes/sts/frontpage.shtml This month the transcribers added over 19,000 records to the 600,000+ Staffordshire now has online at FreeREG. Without these people much research would not be possible, so I know that you will join me in thanking them for their hard work. If you are interested in transcribing then please let me know. We have many records waiting to be transcribed. You don't have to be experienced - training and support is given and on-going. You can live anywhere in the world as long as you have access to a pc. All you need is a methodical mind, be observant to detail and be patient. Humour helps!! Please contact me off list. And if anyone has any records they would like to donate (subject to copyright) I'd be delighted to discuss this off list Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year from all at Staffordshire FreeREG and happy hunting!!
