Bob can't seem to get the link to Lancashire  OPC to work either.

Sorry Newbie, my fault 

I've modified the post and Wiltshire and Lancashire now work,
(but Lancashire re-directs you to a new address anyway, so I have included the new address too !)

Again, sorry, hope they help, now they can be reached !

I've just had another look at the UKBMD page
http://www.ukbmd.co.uk/

on the  OPC page there are several new sites:

Essex: http://essex-opc.org.uk/

Hampshire : http://www.knightroots.co.uk/

Leicestershire: http://www.rootsweb.com/~engleiopc/

Somerset: http://wsom-opc.org.uk/

As with all OPC sites, the amount of transcripted data will vary. 

All OPC sites are on-going, which is code for:
1) keep looking at regular intervals
2) volunteers for transcribing are always welcome.

According to the Dorset OPC page: http://www.opcdorset.com/
there are now also OPC sites or transcription projects for

Monmouth: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~monfamilies/monmouthshire-opc.htm

and Essex: http://essex-opc.org.uk/


Not mentioned on the Dorset OPC site is another transcription project which, although not officially an OPC site, has some similarities:

The Norfolk Transcription Archive has been dormant for a while,
but has now re-opened ("New website launched - Feb 9, 2009")

I love the Lancashire site, use it a lot.

I just wish Cheshire had more online.

Thanks for this thread.  I didn't know about the opc and I've just spent a lot of time looking at Lancashire and found out so much information    It really is a valuable resource

Hi all

Sue - Thanks so much for your post it's just what I needed As coordinator of the Dorset OPC I'm in a bit of a pickle at the moment, I've not been able to update properly for ages as I was ill along with some family things plus 3 kids it's been a struggle to find the time, now our whole email system has ground to a halt, knowing so many people use and appreciate it makes it all worth while

Bob, thanks for doing the write up for the OPC... going to run off and check my links for the other ones in a moment lol!

Jen, I use the Dorset OPC site a lot. I find it absolutely invaluable, and it put me on the right track when I was in danger of going down the wrong line with one of my ancestors. So yes, you and your fellow volunteers are definitely appreciated!

Bob?

I've checked the links for the Wiltshire one, neither the Tiscali or the NTL ones are working?

I know this one was started a year or two ago then nobody could contact the coordinator but last time I looked someone else had taken it over!?
