Scotland Co-ordinator : Sue Hawkins

  • This County has material to transcribe, but we need transcribers to help us make this happen. We have quite a few parishes, or parts of, available for transcription, and all you need in the main is a computer, a little time, and basic skills. With the approval of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I can provide copies of Parish registers for transcription in your own home where ever in the world you live.... Sue
  • If you wish to offer data you have already transcribed in any form to the FreeREG Project, please contact the Scotland Co-ordinator.

    Places and churches are listed in alphabetical order by Parish and then by Volume.
