New Projects – London, England Early Parish Registers (TRIAL) and Varese, Italy Marriage and Death Records
Recently we released three new projects. There are two Italian and one English project – although when you open them they may all seem foreign.
The Varese, Lombardia, Italia: Registri di Matrimonio, 1866-1937 and Varese, Lombardia, Italia: Registri di Morte, 1866-1937 projects are very similar. You will encounter both hand written and typed forms. These projects are in Italian but with a little help from the articles and Field Helps you should find it pretty easy to follow along.
Project Pages: Matrimonio, Morte (The project pages will open in Italian, if you need to switch this to English please use the drop down menu found in the upper right hand corner of the page.)
Help Articles: Matrimonio, Morte

The London, England Early Parish Registers (TRIAL) project is a trial so initially we are releasing a small portion of the images in this collection as a test. We would like to hear from you what the biggest challenges are when keying this information to determine if we can create a name index for the collection, please email feedback to our support team, worldarchivesproject@tgn.com. Depending on the outcome of the test, the records keyed during this trial period may not ultimately appear in the index online and nor may it be available for free if we subsequently determine after the test that we cannot use our volunteer keying project to key the remaining images.. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us determine what types of collections can be keyed in the future through this project. We hope that the images for the entire collection will be available online before the end of the year. I think this project is a lot of fun and is a great learning experience. We have an extensive help article to assist you in keying this project.

Hi Anna and WAP Team,
Just had a look at an image for the Early Parish Records (Trial). My first impression about the Data Entry Fields – we should have a pull-down menu in the Record Type for:
Baptism
Marriage/Banns
Burial
Would save time – and help with data consistency.
