Find Ancestors

thanks for that Heather,

I do keep an eye out and have left a wanted ad on there too....

There must be somebody somewhere lol .....

Have you tried freecycle. I know someone on FTF mentioned some while back someone had offered one on their local freecycle for zilch.

Thanks Heather for the reply.

I do want to transcribe for FreeReg but also would like one for my personal use too.

Have you tried freereg if you want to volunteer to transcribe? Not all the counties require a microfiche, they just send you a program and you download the records on to your puter and then transcribe from them.

Microfiche still required if anyone is getting rid of one!


I have advertised everywhere!!

microfiche still needed please xx

Hi Minnie,

Have you tried asking on freecycle?

Who are ''free online access'' By the way?

I'd not mind a shot at doing some.

I live in Milton Keynes & was wanting to transcribe for the Northamptonshire or buckinghamshire area.

Not sure Cagsie about grants !

Oh what a mess.

If you tell us what area you live in maybe someone can keep an eye open in local free adds etc.

Many thanks Hotpants,

But unfortunately my budget will not stretch that far now after losing the 60 pounds.

Thank you though anyway.

hope this helps, but there are some on sale on ebay for £25 plus postage.

A very kind lady offered me her brand new microfiche that cost her 240 pounds to me for 60 including delivery.

I could not afford this but my hubby said he would buy it for me for my birthday.

I, (in hindsight, very stupidly) sent the money Special Delivery Next Day , wrapped the money in cardboard and placed in a standard white envelope, and placed that envelope inside a padded envelope.

It arrived with the lady this morning, cardboard and money gone !

I am completely gutted, been given a form by post office who will only compensate 36 pounds and will only consider claim 10 days after postage date.

So here I am 60 down and without a microfiche !

So if anyone is considering dumping one that works or giving to charity , I would really appreciate if you consider me !

I now have a zilch budget - maybe 10 pounds at a push.

Regards

Donna

Please see my last post for details !!! Not a happy ending !!

Hello All,

I am looking for anyone who has a working microfiche reader that they no longer want.

I am willing to pay, obviously, though I have only a small budget but will try my best to meet an offer as I am desperately after one of these.

The main reason is to transcribe parish records for free online access.

Please leave a message on the board and I will get back to you or PM me and I will respond asap.

I hope someone can help me !

Regards

Donna xx
