1891 Census Transcription Project
The aim of this project is to provide a free, on-line, searchable database of the 1891 census returns for the county of Derbyshire. We are still looking for help with transcription, checking and validation. All you need are a computer, a microfiche reader, and a little time to spare. Visit the Transcription Status Page to see how you can help. |

An article I wrote on request for the Society of Indexers Genealogical Group Newsletter. It describes a method which will be of use to any reserachers who are transcribing genealogical records, particularly if they wish to publish them on the web. |
