I think great idea. I live in Australia so not much physical work but belong to Australian Society of Genealogists.

I don't know if any of you are aware of a Project which is ongoing to put the English Census, particulary 1891, onto the internet for free access to anyone/fellow genealogists. I hope you don't stop reading because of the word English but as you are aware there is a large population of Scottish and Irish people living in England so it will help 'us' in some way to research possible ancestors living in England during this period. > > Well, I am the Co-ordinator for West Riding of Yorkshire, and am trying to recruit people to help transcribe the 1891 Census for this project. The tools required are access to a fiche reader and a little spare time, as much or as little as you can manage. You can check out the website at http://freecen.rootsweb.com/index.html to see what is happening if you wish. > > As I said before, I realise this is a request for the Yorkshire Census but I am appealing to genealogists who would like to become involved in this worthile project. I am a great believer in putting as much information as possible on the internet to enable 'us' to help trace our ancestors from our own homes and free of charge. > > Please, if you feel you are interested in any way, could you contact me off list.
