Copies of microfiche from County Records Office
« on: Thursday 29 May 08 21:04 BST (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?

Seems a good idea to me.  The more resources available the better
