Yes, this series is extensive enough that one person could not do all the extractions. However, we each could sign up for a surname or two or three. Besides the gen. value, reading as you type will be interesting, more so than the work involved in Tithe Applotment project. The printed nature of the series also eliminates guessing at the surnames and placenames recorded in handwriting in other series.
