Looking for that elusive branch!


Copies of microfiche from County Records Office
« on: Thursday 29 May 08 20:04 UTC (UK) »

I've had a look through the boards at topics such as 'Wasted resources' etc. but cannot find this particular one, so here goes:

I have a number of copies of microfiche records from parish registers, which not only show the details of my ancestors but all the others on the same page. Perhaps we could have a board specifically for this, where names and dates could be listed and Rootschatters who are interested in obtaining a copy could P.M. their email address to the poster and then receive a copy of the record. I would be quite happy for more than one person to get the benefit of my 50p outlay!
Well Mods, what do you think? And would other Rootschatters be interested?

isn't that going to be a duplication of the Online Parish Clerk resources?

(i donated my transcription to their site(s)).

There doesn't seem to be an Online Parish Clerk for North Yorkshire Pauline, and I don't think (from what I have read) that all counties are covered. Just thought it might be nice to have the facility on Rootschat.

North Yorkshire is such a massive county that even if the rumours are true, it's going to take some time. And Freereg is okay but not quite the same as having the original written record is it? 

Come on Rootschatters, isn't anyone else interested?

Support would be anyone actually doing it!
There's already a  resource board for each county, why not put them there. It's been done before, both by myself  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,239816.0.html and I've certainly seen others who have done similar.

I also think its a great idea
and agree with Myfi that it probably need to be  moved to to an area which is read by more people.
This isnt an area I usually visit.

Hi
Are you sure you are not contravening copyright here?   If they are only 50p I would rather the money went to the Society who took the trouble to produce them for us in the first place.    Though I suppose not everyone has a fiche reader - but they can take them to their local library.
Just my own feelings - don't let me stop the rest of you!

Thanks for the support folks! I agree that they should go on the resource board for the county, what I had in mind was a dedicated subsection on that board.
Not sure about copyright, I scan mine and often send them to rellies I have found, so it would be the same thing. I didn't mean the fiche, it's a printout from the fiche. Some of my ancestors came from Devon and I can't get to the records office there as it's such a long way. I would be delighted if some of my lot turned up! The 50p goes to the Records Office as they produced them, not the FHS.
