Hi Alan :) If you don't get enough volunteers, let me know and I'll chip in too. If someone in the UK can do it though it would be cheaper, the US dollar isn't doing too well against the British Pound at the moment. Had to happen when I want to start buying genealogy CDs didn't it? GRRRRRRR!!! Anyway, I'm here as a backup if needed!! :D Take care, Rob.

A quick look reveals a large number of K/NIBB/S and time, if nothing else, makes me wonder if we could share the task of downloading amongst listers. There's a cost element also ie £5 for 50 units. Only if one pays the charge can the full record be seen. However, from what I can gauge on a search for births 1761-2003, only one page per entry seems to be the norm, so every unit used should reveal a K/NIBB/S, unlike the normal indexes where two pages can sometimes be needed to locate the correct individual - many more for common surnames. I suspect that my search for KNIBB brought up KNIBBS as well but experience would tell us if that is indeed the case. If it is then perhaps we can divide the task by one lister taking on £5 worth of the KNIBB births and another £5 worth of the NIBBS births and similarly split the marriages and deaths. This way, we might only need 6 volunteers in total but if £5 doesn't cover all of a particular batch, perhaps on a second trawl for volunteers someone else can complete that batch. Any takers? If so, please can you state which batch you would like to tackle ie KNIBB or NIBBS and births, marriages or deaths. Then just wait a while for me as co-ordinator to give the go-ahead - otherwise we could find ourselves duplicating efforts. bfn Alan Alan Jackson Host at The K/NIBB/S One Name Study & Mailing List Website address http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~knibbetc Did you know?
