WDYTYA Magazine's weekly Transcription Tuesday events

Who Do You Think You Are? magazine (www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com) and Ancestry (www.ancestry.co.uk) have joined forces to arrange another Transciption Tuesday event for this coming March 31st, in what looks to be the first of a new series of 'weekly challenges'.

The first effort hopes to see volunteers transcribe records from a collection at England's National Archives, entitled England, Criminal Lunatic Asylum Registers, 1820-1843.

For more information on what you need to do to take part, visit the magazine's website at http://www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/blog/transcription-tuesday-weekly-challenge-ancestry-prison-records. Despite the collection title, it also holds records relating to convict, ship and local prisons, and not just asylums.
