Hello Alwyn,
I'm sure the Gwynedd FHS would be delighted if list members would join it in
their various projects. I wasn't aware that I had mentiond the Gwynedd FHS
before, but then again my memory is not what it used to be.
The old counties of Gwynedd [ Anglesey, Caernarfonshire and Meirionnydd ]
are divided into five areas with a Project Officers for each. Further
information can be had about ongoing, and future projects from them, and
their names and telephone numbers can be found on page two of the latest
journal. New ideas about projects you wish to take part in are always
welcome.
An hour or two a week can make a great deal of difference to the number of
projects completed.
Like you Alwyn, I would like to know what listers feel about helping others
with an interest in our area.We have all used an index in the past, but
sometimes forget that someone produced that for our benefit.
Alwyn and I will be waiting to see these offers of help coming in - in
their dozens.
Regards,
Stan.
Gwynedd FHS.

Hello Stan,
You have mentioned the Gwynedd Family History Society a lot recently, but
the
one thing that you haven't mentioned is what ongoing or new
projects the
society has that list members might be able to help with.
I know that the society has a number of ongoing projects that need a
"physical presence" to be able to help with, such as transcribing grave
stones, but is there anything that list members who live further afield
can
help with?
Can the society provide photocopies of census or PR documents that people
can
transcribe, for example?
In comparison to other lists the north west Wales lists are very small,
with
few of us owing fiche readers or having lots of time on our hands! so
I
doubt
if the Gwynedd lists could fulfil a "list project" such as
transcribing a
whole county census return, as some of the bigger lists have managed to do
in
co-operation with their corresponding FHS.
But I'm sure that between the society and the lists we could find
something
suitable for a joint Gwynedd FHS / Gwynedd lists project. What do
you, and
other list members, think?
All the best
Alwyn
ps most members of the ANG, CAE and MER lists are also members of this
one,
so there is no need to reply to all <g>
