From Scottish Indexes (www.scottishindexes.com):
Volunteer’s Weekend 9/10 January 2020
Stuck at home this weekend and love family history?
If you are looking for something rewarding and interesting to do this weekend you may be interested in our weekend volunteer project.
We want to index more prison registers and we are working on Edinburgh prison records from the 1840s and 1850s right now.
The index that is created will be put online for everyone to access for free.
This is a perfect project if you’ve not done indexing before or have limited time. It’s a collaborative project and there will be support all weekend from experienced volunteers.
In November 2020 the team of volunteers managed to index over 12,000 entries in just one weekend! A highlight of the weekend was when a volunteer found her own ancestor in the records! Who could you discover?
Send us a message if you can volunteer this weekend.
