Pam - Brian has obviously done us all a favour by introducing you to the list. I have toyed with the idea of helping to put things on FREBMD but I am afraid of biting off more than I can chew. Is it possible to start in a very small way with a very small project? I can type, so that is an asset I suppose? But I don't want to get bogged down in something I can't cope with. Marged | Goodmorning | | Thought I would fill in a few minutes to wish everyone a very happy and | prosperous New Year. | | As Brian would tell you, I am finding it easier to type than to talk at | the moment, although I just about managed two lines of HAPPY BIRTHDAY, | when I spoke to him yesterday. [He rang from the pub would you | believe!!] In other words I've lost my voice! Still I am giving everyone | a break from listening to me chat. | | I would also like to tell you, in case you don't already know, about a | marvellous project called Archive CD Books. Take the time to visit the | home page and read all about it, it's a very worth while project in my | opinion and as family historians we should support it. | The url is, for those of you who don't know about it, | http://www.archivecdbooks.com/ | | I have also just volunteered for the FREEBMD project. This is the | project to put all birth, marriages and deaths since 1837 on line. This | is going to be so useful to all of us and everyone can join in, you | don't need a micro fiche reader according the web page. | The url for this is http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ | | Hope you all find this interesting, and maybe a couple of you could join | in the above and so speed up this project. | | Happy New Year and good luck with your researching. | Very best wishes, | Pam | Stoke on Trent | | | ==== NORTHERN-ENGLAND Mailing List ==== | An alternative mailing list for genealogy research in | Northern England, this list covers the whole of the North of England | | --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi Marge, Welcome back, as to FREEBMD all they ask is half an hour per week but really it is up to you how much you transcribe, I was sent six pages double sided with about 350 names each side, took me about a week to fill in just one side @ about half an hour per night. I gave it up because the type is so small I felt it would give me eyestrain.
