The Wiltshire OPC project is now back up and running it can be found at:  http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~engwopcp/  We now have 13 parishes with OPC's which leaves 594 to go.  If you would like to find out what is involved in becoming an OPC visit our site and follow the about link where you should find all the information you need. 
The OPC scheme first started in Cornwall where they have had huge success, it has since branched out to many other counties.  The underlying belief is that Genealogical information should be made freely available for all to share.
If you would like to help in a small way but feel can't take on a parish, there are suggestions on the getting involved page as to how you may be able to do this.

Thanks
Susan

Come on all you Wilts Rootschatters - Susan needs your help to get up and running! 

I have volunteered to be OPC for Sedgehill, Semley and East Knoyle.   For the first few months it will probably mean answering an occasional email!   

If you are passionate about OUR county, contact Susan to find out how you can help.

I hesitated ... my only rellies from Wilts are from Tollard Royal, and there is someone down for that parish already ... I really know nothing about the rest of the county ...

Thank you Susan for that info.   

I read it out of interest and then noticed you have a surname in your list "Harding" Wiltshire.   I have a Sally Harding marrying a Joseph Green in Wroughton Wiltshireabout 1810 and she died in 1831.

Any relation?  Thanks again for the info.

If you haven't stopped by for a while it is worth while checking out the site - we are growing regularly.

We now have OPCs for 37 Parishes and are in the mist of having a facelift - the site not the co-ordinator!

Many thanks for that update.  Well worth a look.  Have I asked you before about "Harding" in Wiltshire?   I have a Sally Harding married to a Joseph Green in the Wroughton area.

Sally died about 1831 and Joseph married Honor Brind (Harris).  Any relation?

Thanks again, Susan
