That's fine. :-) I am patient.

Yup!

Back in maintenance mode, sadly.

You know when you are on a secure site if there is a little padlock next to the URL, and if the URL begins 'https'

William , it says ''My webhost has done something disasterous!
I have been provided with an alternative solution
and I am working to restore the site.''....

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
