if this turns into an ongoing project, it is my hope that the much
neglected non-conformist church records shall be added.

Hi all,
I've looked around on the Rootsweb website for any rules against
self-plugging / advertising but I couldn't find any. Apologies if
I'm
annoying anyone, but hopefully you can see the benefits :)
I've just uploaded the first beta version of the tool, which
contains
the transcribed PRs for Wendon Lofts, Little Chishill, Heydon and
the
first installment of the Chrishall PRs.
I hope to add more PRs in the future and a few extra bells and
whistles,
if anyone would like to donate any PRs to the cause I'd be more than

happy to accept them! (I've gone through 2 packs of paracetamols!).
The tool can be downloaded from:
http://www.pottrell.com/archidex/Archidex [1] v1.0b.zip (18MB) or if
you
have 7zip you can download it from
http://www.pottrell.com/archidex/Archidex [2] v1.0b.7z (11MB)
Please note that I've limited it to expire on the 7th of December as

it's only a beta at this stage. If you have any suggestions /
requests
/ questions please let me know :)
Thanks,
Tony
