THIS WEBSITE IS IN  EARLY DEVELOPMENT - ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED.

Our aim is to involve as many extended family members as possible - more particularly the young with some special but simple HISTORY pages, Soon there will be FAMILY SITES on TWITTER, FACEBOOK & MYSPACE.

We are collecting both current and old photos for a FAMILY ALBUM so email a photo of yourself or your family as we put these pages together over the next year. We intend to LINK as many family related sites as possible, so if you have a FAMILY CONNECTION which should be linked or know of one - EMAIL the URL/address. We will do the rest!

NEXT WE ARE ESTABLISHING A FAMILY TREE - Just to have it up and running will take many months and, of course, it will never be completed. To start, we need everyone with a FAMILY CONNECTION TO FILL OUT THE FORM with as much information as possible. If you just want to REGISTER YOURSELF then just fill out your name and email on the form.
FILL IT OUT NOW!
