Hello, and thank you for looking at my Family History pages.

Oct 2005: Now includes over 70 individuals and over 20 photos & document images

LATEST NEWS: Check out the Newcastle GUMMETs! (click here)

  New search engine added! 

The first thing to say is that  this is very much a work-in-progress, so please bear with me if links aren't working, or basic information appears to be missing. I'd appreciate any comments you may have about what I've published, and especially so if you notice something that you believe to be factually inaccurate, 

Colyn and I have been gathering family history information on-and-off for around 20 years now, and have amassed a sizable library of certificates, records, photographs and documents which desperately need organising and publishing. We are also very fortunate in having two brilliant Uncles -Tony and Kevin who are similarly possessed of the genealogy bug and very generous with their findings. 

As we're slowly getting used to life in the 21st century, I thought that if I was going to do something with all this information, it might as well be something electronic and web-enabled... so that is how you came to be browsing these pages!

Please use the links at the top and bottom of the page to browse the pages, and please come back again soon to see how much (or how little) I've added. Carmel
