I met Yvonne through researching my ancestors, we are very distant cousins, we share the same gt x 3 grandparents, James Bennett and Phillis Batchelor.
Yvonne introduced me to FreeReg and transcribing old records, which I did for quite a while but had to give it up because I did not have the time to spare, however, we have remained friends and swap mail regularly. We hope one day to find out the ancestry of James Bennett who we only know was born in 1764 in Shepton Mallet.
Yvonne is a major helper on FreeReg and a lot of the files are checked and uploaded by her. She is a very patient advisor and helper to all the new transcribers on FR, like myself when I started, she sent me a lot of tutorials on excel and how to use it for transcribing and always took the time to talk me through any problems I had. So thanks Yvonne!
