Daily Transcriber Philosophy

For those who are new to the Daily Genealogy Transcriber, we usually only post part of the image as a way of helping us see how others might read names, even if they are read incorrectly. Part of this is because in some documents all you have is the person's signature and also learning about other interpretations helps us to find names in indexes and other finding aids.

If a person was actually transcribing, then of course you would want to have a larger sample of their handwriting.

That's not quite our purpose here.

1940 Census Webinar-Getting Images

Everyone's crazy about the 1940 census...including me--I've found 11 of my ancestors and a few others in the first few days since it's release. We're going to help those who need it see how to navigate the free 1940 census sites.

On 4 April 2012 at 7:30 PM Central time (Wednesday), I'll be presenting a webinar on using the free 1940 census sites. Not all have everything uploaded (NARA does), but we'll see how to navigate, download, and work with the free 1940 census images that are available.

You can register for this webinar for $8.

Or you can get the webinar free if your order  at least $20 of recorded webinars from my recorded webinar page--and to top if off, you can use the coupon code of 1940 to reduce your order price in HALF and still get a complimentary registration for the 4 April 2012 1940 census webinar (for as little as $10--the $20 order minimum applies BEFORE you use the coupon). So that means your recorded webinars will cost you half the normal price and you'll get the 1940 Census webinar on the free sites at no charge--as long as your order totals $20 before you use the coupon.

All webinar registrants can request a complimentary webinar download after it's been uploaded.
