In 2002 Trudy Weaver had an idea:
Once you have downloaded a page from the 1901 Census, and transcribed 'your' family, you are invariably left with other families on the page, which may very well be of use to someone else.
So why not collect the various "leftovers" and present them on a web site, where others can look at them."
The idea took off, and the result was
The 1901 Leftovers Site
Many transcribers have donated their "leftovers" to this site, resulting in a database of over 55,000 entries.
In 2004 Trudy Weaver anounced that she wouldn't be able to maintain her popular "1901 Census Leftovers" site any more.
Trystan and Sarah, from RootsChat, didn't want these genealogical resources to be lost, so they approached Trudy and suggested that RootsChat take over the site.
The site has now been re-vamped by RootsChat, but the idea remains the same:
If you have an image of a 1901 census page, from which you are transcribing your ancestors,
why not transcribe the whole page and donate it to
The RootsChat 1901 Leftovers Site (http://1901census.rootschat.com/)
(http://1901census.rootschat.com/img/1901census.jpg)[/url]
This board is for all transcibers and contributors to the 1901 Leftovers site.
Update 2012:
Due to pressures of other commitments, we are not accepting new submissions for the "1901 Leftovers" site at the moment.
