Based on our examination of the characteristics of about 280 known pulsars and 40 millisecond pulsars (MSPs), we have derived selection criteria for MSP candidates: steep spectrum, highly linearly polarized point sources. The first sample of 14 candidates from the NVSS at 1.4 GHz and the WENSS at 325 MHz has been observed by the WSRT using PuMa at both 92 and 21 cm in May 1999. We have finished processing all data and find no evidence for MSPs for a dispersion measure range of 0 —- 200 cm−3 pc in this first sample.
