Navigation |
Finding your way around the site is easy. On desktop screens (the standard
site)
most pages provide two methods of navigation, with a menu panel on the left,
and
a set of
pulldown
menus at top right. On smartphones and tablets (the mobile site)
navigation is by icons controlling pull-down menus at the top of the
screen, and there is a button in the footer which allows you to switch
to the standard site and vice versa. If you prefer to have the site operate
in one of the international languages offered, select the language
from the pull-down list at top right. But please note that this selection changes
the navigation links and table headings only, and does not change the page
contents that I have written. |
Search facility |
Searching for a person is easy. Just type the name or names (or the
starting letters of same) into the fields and click the Search button.
For women, records are stored using their birth surnames, if known. A
list
of possible matches
will be returned. Click on the name of interest, and it will bring up
that person's record. Note that unless you are logged in, for privacy
reasons you will not be able to see the records of living persons or
persons thought to be still living. |
Starting points |
If you are unfamiliar with genealogical websites, you might be puzzled
where to start. Here are my suggestions.
- Read the Introduction to learn about
the focus of the site.
- View the Surnames page
to see if any fall within your interests. Expand to all surnames if
you wish.
- Search for a name. Either use the top left fields as described above,
or use the Advanced Search.
- An individual's personal page contains links to the records
of the family and related persons.
- Click the Ancestors or Descendants tab
to see relationships. Pause mouse over icons to see data.
- Click the Ancestors tab then click the Media link
to see a compact list of the person's forbears.

Living persons |
All genealogical data is held in a database, with the records of living
people hidden from public access. If you "belong to the clan" or
have a genuine affinity for the families on this site, please feel free
to Register for a User Account. Acceptance
is not automatic, as I guard this database with great care. If accepted,
you will then be able to view all records, and according to
the rights
assigned to you, be able to add new records and/or edit existing records.
Please respect the confidentiality entrusted to you, and do not share
your login with others. We likewise will treat your personal details
in confidence. |
Website |
This website is a work in progress, just like a book which progressively
has more pages added according to the author's energies and enthusiasm.
It is constructed from Template 4 of TNG (see page footer)
which is a mysql database with a collection of php scripts that
can be edited to give the site its individuality. This technology keeps
files small and allows
pages to be created dynamically on request. I'm finding it a pleasure
to use.
If you wonder about the strange address of this site, it happens
to be a sub-domain of a personal commercial website that was useful some
years ago. The site is hosted by SimplyHosting.net
somewhere in the cloud
where the time is Sun 08:13 pm.
