RYEDALE Family History Group is benefitting from the latest in technology after being awarded a grant from the North York Moors National Park Authority’s Community Grants Scheme 2018.
The grant has been used to purchase a scanner to scan the old parish register entries and replaces the obsolete one the group had been using for many years
Janice Wood, chairman said: “The new scanner gives much greater definition for the images and can enhance poor quality images, making it easier for our team of transcribers to read.
"We carry out a lot of work transcribing images from the parish registers for the benefit of people tracing their family history.
“We are grateful for the opportunity the grant gives us to move forward and involve more people in this work.”
