Make a transcription to be uploaded
Background
I have included a limited number of transcriptions on the site. I will now accept more transcripts, but only if they are in a format easy to include in the database of transcriptions. To this end I have two templates.
What each field holds
| Volume | Enter the volume, remember volumes after 1832 have form YYYYvv up to 1900 and YYYYvvv after 1900. eg 183301 (needs to be zero filled) |
| Page | Before 1833 this is the page number from 1833 on it is the folio number of the memorial and ranges from 1 to 300. |
| Memorial | Before 1833 this is the sequence number of the memorial from then on it is made up of the volume plus the zero filled folio number. |
| Header | This is the first line of the memorial and usually starts "To the Register appointed …". |
| Margin | This is what is written in the margin. It usually gives the names of the main parties and the date and time of registration. May be empty. |
| Body | This is the main body of the memorial and starts with "A memorial " and ends with the list of witnesses to the deed and memorial. |
| Signed | This is the signature of one or more of the parties each of which is followed by "(seal)". |
| Witness | Enter the signatures and heading of the witness signatures. |
| Sworn | Here we put the record of the swearing of the memorial. |
| Notes | Add any notes here |
| Transcriber | This is the screen name of the ranscriber |
| Image no | Enter the image number of the first page of memorial in the FamilySearch.org |
| Short Sumary | This gives a quick reference and appears in the list. Include the deed type and one each of grantor and grantee family names |
You can include html codes in the above fields. Do not include carriage returns in your transcriptions.
