FreeREG .....

Have just signed up to be a transcriber for freeREG, for the ROC area - they send me all the details, and I transcribe them - its a long term project and looking forward to it.

I already have a microfiche reader, so don't have to try and buy one or borrow one from the library

Hi Mary

Good for you! It's folks like you, who give of their free time, that help all of us in our searching.

That sounds like fun, where did you get the reader? Do many libraries lend them?, or do you use them there?

I got the reader from my hubby's work for free. It was before the LDS IGI came on line - I paid around £200 for the whole of Scotland/Ireland and Durham IGI index.

The woman who is the co-ordinator, has been given permission from the Inverness Library to get one on loan on a long term basis.

I know you can get them from Ebay, and by doing a search on google - they range from £15 to £75 second hand, and hard to come by

If you really wanted one, try companies, who are now using computers rather than the microfiche readers - no harm in trying

I am working with another peron from Canada, at present it is only the 2 of us
