Just recieved an email from Ancestry about this.
Here's how it works
1 Ancestry will preserve the records, which we'll then scan in so they are ready to go online. This is where you come in. .
2 As a volunteer you’ll need to download and install a small piece of software so you can start transcribing the records.
3 Once you've done this, just select the collection you want to work on and then you'll be able to see the images so you can start typing in the information
4 There is also an online tutorial to help you get started.
So ancestry get the work done for nothing and then charge for it by subscritption????
What do you all think about this?
