It is but not much on it yet. It is but in need of an OPC volunteer though.

Teffont Magna needs you as the OPC  - you obviously have some connection to that parish & it is a welcome change from doing your own Family history research and you get a better understanding about the Parish that your ancestors lived in !

I am one of the new OPC's by the way & am looking after the Dinton page - it would be so nice to have a neighbour !

You only have to give a bit of your time - I am in Australia & still signed up. I don't have any access to any BMD records at the moment but I have added to the Dinton page in other ways.

Have a look at the Teffont Magna page then have a look at some of the other pages that have OPC's - some have added very little - others have added lots of information. If you are interested - contact Teresa the Adminstrator - she has been very helpful to me.

The thing that appeals to me about the Wiltshire OPC project - you get ownership of a parish (or parishes if you choose) & you are able to look at your Parish page & say "I did that" whereas with some other projects - I think you are only a part of a transcribing crew.

Have a think about it Redroger - you know you want to sign up......   (& Teffont Magna is only a small parish - very manageable)

so true Cathyaus, just a small amount of time is needed, I like you live in Aus but I am the OPC for Calne and as you know I do the surname index, the newsletter, and lots of other transcribing, and sorting out the spreadsheets that have been sent in with the wrong format.  Teresa and I are flat out all the time finding records and it would be great if we could have more volunteers. a little as an hour a week would be great to get some of these unloved parishes up and running
Cheers

Hi All

The Wiltshire OPC site is in the process of being rebuilt after last years hacking attack. Unfortunately in the last few days the site has gone down again because of another mindless intrusion

We are endeavouring to upload all data to the new site but this is a large task which will take some time to complete

Thanks for the tip John, Regarding the hackers, are they just brain dead, or using these attacks as test runs for cyber terrorism?

They could be die-hard enemies of Popery.

Hi Does anyone know if we will be able to view a list of people laid to rest in their cemetery?
Once the project will be completed. I e-mailed but didn't get a reply to my question.
I know they are busy..but....

Hi maroldme
You will only be able to view a list of people laid to rest in the parish cemetery - if the OPC for that parish has actually gone around & listed the people in the cemetery. I know for myself - I am the OPC for Dinton & live in Australia - so that wont be happening for the Dinton parish.

Which parish were you enquiring about ??
