Many of us are finding all this unexpected time at home a challenge-there’s only so much housework a person can do! Fortunately family history is an interest which lends itself to life indoors and can take you down many different avenues. A new way to develop your interest could be to join in with Transcription Tuesday. an initiative by the Who Do You Think You Are magazine. Each Tuesday, a particular set of name rich records will be made available for the family history community to transcribe. There is no cost to this and the resulting transcripts will be shared online via free sites and platforms. If this sounds like something you would like to get involved with, you can read more about it here. http://www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/news/who-do-you-think-you-are-magazine-brings-back-transcription-tuesday-during-coronavirus-pandemic

We are also maintaining and processing membership renewals, the Help desk and as much of everything else we can that our volunteers can do from home. Please appreciate that things may take a little longer to action than normal.
