Thanks Rosemarie for finding this. I think it would be great if they would do 
it and find the funding for somebody(s) to transcribe as it’s a huge job. 
But... I don’t want to discourage our group from doing some now because of a 
couple reasons. 1. Who knows if they will even get the funding. 2. Even if they 
got funding, what is the ETA? And last, I would hope they could use our index’s 
and maybe save time and money. Honestly I think they should use us as 
volunteers as we all owe them a huge thanks! The majority of sites (Scotland, 
England, Irish etc) all charge a ton of money for access to their records. If I 
were Scottish it would cost me a small fortune lol😀 The sites that charge have 
a searchable index, so it’s possible that if this costs them money, they may 
adapt to a user pay system to access their records. They may charge for 
searching and records, no more freebies. Just a thought...
