AKVZ doesn't get financial means of any kind, so we are depending on private support. Since April 1st we are also forced to charge an annual fee of 36 Euro (3 Euro per month) for which you get free access to all transcribed censuses (1483 censuses so far). Active transcribers are charged 12 Euro per year. On akvz.de -> register you'll see which censuses are available. Best wishes Thomas Kortz (AKVZ) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
