Thanks for this NannyJan

I have done quite a few and they were quite easy when you get the hang of them.  It's great to know these will be available.

Thanks for the link

Great I thought - I love this sort of thing.  But not sure if its me but the process is so slow and causes my system to crash :-(

Does anyone know of any other transcribing volunteers needed?

I've not had any problems with the site; have you let them know?

Your local family history society might welcome transcribers or, possibly, Family Search?

I just registered but it says that all documents have been transcribed.

If anyone is looking for transcribing, there are some very interesting projects available on Zooniverse.  I've been working on the Shakespeare's World project for over two years now and have transcribed about 3,000 documents.  Fascinating!
