Hi Claire and anyone else hesitant to volunteer as a transcriber, > MY problem copying would be some parts are illegible and I would hate to mislead > someone. I have been involved with doing the entire state of AZ for the 1910 census, so I have plenty of experience with problems reading the censuses. I have been chatting with Anita on this Monmouth County project, based on my experience with the AZ project.. PLEASE DO VOLUNTEER even if you are afraid that you would not be able to read something. There will be a set of instructions given for how to list names you cannot read, etc. For example, We used this system - we put the part in brackets that we could not read. ie BRA<>ET this means we could not read the letters between A and E ie BR<>CK<>T this means we could not read the letters between R and C and K and T ie <>CKET this means we could not read any letters before the C ie BRACK<> this means we could not read any letters after the K ie <> this meant we could not read anything By listing the names this way, there is always the chance that the person(s) proofreading can make out the entire name. This happened many times with our AZ project. Anita still needs lots of volunteers, so everybody please volunteer. The 1910 Monmouth County census has about 65 ED numbers. Cindy, Mesa, AZ
