Hi All,

I have just become a member of a syndicate to help transcribe the BMD indexes to the searchable database:

Freebmd.org

I just wanted to say how easy it is to get started. They help you with every step and you can do as much or as little as your time allows.

The more people that help the quicker they will be available for everybody to use.

Thanks

Vicky X

Well done, I really should offer to help.

There's a thread on Records where you can get some help if ever you get stuck

You choose what syndicate you would like to join and I applied to join last Friday. By Sunday I had an email from the leader of the syndicate with step by step instructions.

You do have to download a program that you use to enter the data, which is really easy to use. I think every syndicate has a slightly different way of doing it, but the first thing I have to do is complete a training scan, which I am finding really easy.

There is help available from experienced members all the time and the instructions are really easy to follow.

It is well worth having a go if you have time,

Vicky X
