The FreeREG Norfolk Transcription team has added 63 862 records in the past month. On 29 Aug 2008 there were 1 871 180 records in the database. (1 031 145 baptisms, 220 728 marriages and 619 307 burials). A really really big thank you to all of our volunteer transcribers, converters and contributors. With the approval of the Norfolk Record Office, the Fenland Museum,The National Archive, the Norfolk and Norwich Archaeological Society, and the National Archive, I am able to provide on-loan copies of a parish register from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for transcription in the comfort of your home. No special expertise or equipment is required, just your time. If you would like to join this effort please contact me at the above email address. Please note availability information is out of date due to a large recent delivery - please ask if you have a special interest.

• TINSTAAFL contributions are donated transcriptions, reformatted for FreeREG by Dave Naylor - thanks very much to both parties.

ATs are copies of registers sent to the bishop each year - they are generally patchy with missing years.
