There is always something new to find.
Found a great new site today, its called Genealogy in time Here is what they say about themselves:
GenealogyInTime Magazine is the most popular online genealogy magazine and one of the largest free genealogy websites in the world. Everything is free, including powerful genealogy search engines, a popular genealogy toolbar, listings of the latest ancestral records, in-depth articles and several other helpful tools and resources. www.genealogyintime.com
There seems to be lost of free resources on this site, and as I explore it I will let you know what I find, but I recommend signing up for their newsletter as a start.
What I liked about it is the page with the latest Australian online resources, here I found that the National Archives are looking for transcribers, and as I have a bit of time now and again I joined and have transcribed my first page. Here is a link to begin transcribing if you are inclined to do so (it is very easy!) http://transcribe.naa.gov.au/
How easy is it to transcribe - Super easy. It took me 5 minutes of typing to do 1 page, it looks like this:
Although Character recognition had been used to translate this as a starting point, I found that it was easier for me to just re-type the whole thing.
