Dear Judy and all, Thank you for explaining the reason for transcribing. Please don't take my question as a criticism concerning the availability of records online. I was not concerned with errors in typing, just that records could perhaps go online sooner if they were scanned. When I see a Will of interest listed in the Will Index, I want to see it right away! The name might have been one I looked at a couple times. If someone posted a scan of it, I could peep at it right away! I often do my research very late at night, so if I think I have found something, I would just like to satisfy my curiosity right away. I know many people are feverishly transcribing records. I just didn't understand how it worked. For all of those transcribing, thank you. Every time I go to Huntingdon to research, my family wants me to go here and there. My research hours get limited. Last summer, in desperation, I rented a room at the new hotel in Huntingdon and spent 5 glorious days at the Historical Society, the Court House, and cemetery hopping. I had 30 plus records copied from the Register's Office at the Court House. (just that trip) One thing I learned, I asked for three documents which were in Will Book 19, pages 292 and 293. I didn't realize that if the Letters of Administration, date of death and Renunciation of husband were on the same page, I didn't need to ask for all three documents. The whole page of 292 or 293 would be copied. So, I paid for copies of three documents rather than two. I spent a lot of money for copies that I didn't need. Not complaining, just found out how it works. The ladies at the Recorder's Office are very helpful and nice. When I received the documents, I cut apart the pages and copied them sideways on legal paper enlarging the microfilmed copy by 200% and adjusted the contrast so I could clearly read the copy. I have handwritten what was written above the original Recorder's Clerk's writing on my enlarged copy for my own use. Early handwriting and legal terms can be very hard to decipher. If I can send off a copy of a Will, Deed or the like to someone else researching, I scan it the original microfilm copy from the Court House. I am not the best typist in the world. Thank goodness for spell check! Transcribing will be a tedious task for me. I was just hoping for an easier way to be able to share the documents I have and get them online. (and be nosey and see what everyone else has! :>) I know there are lots of folks researching who don't have the chance to come to Huntingdon and pull the records. For me, my genealogy hobby is not only to discover my family roots, but I also want to be able to share what I have found and connect with other folks. At the beginning of the year, we did a Roll call. Since scanning is not possible, could we do a Roll Call listing documents we have to share and scan between each other? Thanks for the explanation. I will transcribe! Sincerely, Teresa Shade Meltzer
