Census Indexer's Forum?
« on: Monday 28 February 05 12:11 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,

I was wondering if there was a dedicated place where indexers of census's could chat and post queries and tips etc.  I've just started indexing for Standish nr Liverpool and found the lack of help on decyphering writing and other similar problems very lacking.  A forum where you could post your problems and get help from other people who have more experience could speed up the process a lot.  Any ideas?

Regards

I don't know of a forum, but there is a 'mailing list' that should suit your needs.
You can also view the archives:

Surely this would the place to post such messages - after al this is Census and Resource Discussion. Feel free to post here (and avoid the spam of the mailing list :) )
