Hi All, I am excited to announce the launch of the Caithness Free Census Project. This is part of the larger UK Free Census Project - a world-wide project to make the UK Censuses between the years 1841 and 1891 available to researchers free of charge on the internet. This database will enable researchers to view details of the above mentioned census years to search by surname across census years and counties. I'm the county coordinator for Caithness County in Scotland and am in search of transcribers for all parishes in my county. All a transcriber needs to take part is a computer and access to a microfiche reader. We supply everything else including the film/fiche and the software. This project is a global on-line venture designed for ordinary family historians wherever they are, who would like to make a contribution to our great hobby.
