Hello<div><br></div><div>The volunteers are mainly recruited via the Rootsweb mailing lists for Cornwall. Many of them worked on the Cornwall Online Census Project, a semi-detached part of Free Census. The raw material is provided by the LDS with the agreement of the Cornish RO. It comes on disc and in return the OPC organiser provides a copy to the LDS which is used to index their images, which they are currently uploading. The volunteers transcribe into spreadsheets using prescribed layouts. These transcripts can be uploaded by the volunteers as texts, on the OPC web site or their own site. In addition the data is uploaded to the C-PROP database. The db was created by the organiser's son-in-law. The organiser is a web designer. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The project is a daughter of the Cornish OPC scheme, which was the original OPC scheme. As you will have seen, the C-PROP db is not just parish registers. The agreement with the LDS and CRO was master-minded by another volunteer, who just happens to be a helper at a Cornish FHC of the LDS. When the Wiltshire OPC scheme approached them, they said no.</div>

<p>Looks good, but you're lucky it hasn't been deleted yet as there are no
independent references cited. Has there been any press coverage you could
include?</p>
