FreeREG - Data Editors

FreeREG Project Data Editors

Many people will already have data in the format ready to merge into our database. Some will be entering data directly into SpeedREG or WinREG - programs specifically designed by Peter Cox and Thomas Horton for the project.

However ou may have created it already for a different database, or spreadsheet software, or using a word processor. Rather than re-entering the data our data editing team can help with the conversion to the format required by FreeREG. The Data Editors can help convert data from non-standard format into our format as csv files, ready to be imported into the FreeREG database. Thereby avoiding the efforts of re-entering the data. Contact one of the people in the list below for assistence.

See: Details of the data fields and format for baptisms, marriages and burials.

Also see: Converting Data if you want to do it yourself

If you have completed data, in our format, you can either submit it yourself; see the sections on uploading data or provide it to your county coordinator or send it to the project coordinator Dave Newbury (please include a note of the name and e-mail address of the transcriber.)

More Data Editors are needed! - we have only just begun! If you are interested contact the project coordinator Dave Newbury
