L.R.F.H.S. INDEXING PROJECTS

GILROES CEMETERY LEICESTER

THE NEW INDEXING PROJECT TO COMPUTERISE THE BURIAL DETAILS OF GILROES CEMETERY IN LEICESTER IS WELL UNDER WAY.

THE 28 ACRE SITE, OPENED IN 1902, CONTAINS A CEMETERY AND CREMATORIUM.

AS OF 5th DECEMBER 2011, THE 8 BOOKS CONTAINING THE BURIALS 1902-1950  HAVE BEEN 90% TRANSCRIBED, 89% HAVE BEEN INPUT TO DATABASES AND 30% HAVE BEEN CHECKED

THE INDEX TRANSCRIPTION IS BEING TAKEN FROM THE BURIAL BOOKS HELD  AT THE LEICESTER CITY COUNCIL OFFICES IN LEICESTER BY A TEAM OF L.R.F.H.S. VOLUNTEERS, AND THEN THE TRANSCRIPTS ARE PASSED TO OTHER VOLUNTEERS TO ADD TO A COMPUTER DATABASE USING EXCEL SPREADSHEETS BEFORE BEING CHECKED.

DO YOU WANT TO HELP WITH THIS PROJECT?

TRANSCRIBERS & COMPUTER INPUTTERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME. IF YOU THINK YOU CAN HELP PLEASE CONTACT OUR PROJECTS CO-ORDINATOR
