Nairnshire Free Census Project (1841-1851) |
May 04, 2004 |
I am excited to announce the launch of the Nairnshire
Free Census project. This is part of the larger UK Free
Census Project - an Internet-based 'free-to-view' database
that will enable researchers to view details of UK Censuses
between the years 1841 and 1891, especially the ability to
search by surname across census years and counties. I am
the county coordinator and am sending out an appeal for
transcribers and checkers for all Nairnshire parishes.
All you need to take part is a computer and access to a
microfilm or microfiche reader. We supply everything else
including the film/fiche and the software. This project is a
global on-line venture designed for ordinary family historians
wherever they are, who would like to make a contribution to
our great hobby.
If you are interested in learning more, please
contact me, Michelle Jeffery, at mmjeffery@chilitech.net

FreeCEN project can be found at
