On-line database has had major update
My genealogical database is managed in Reunion on a Macintosh. From time to time I place both a public and full snapshot of the database on this website for others to consult, but had not done this for sometime. The on-line versions have now had a major update, with over 1000 extra persons added.

Enjoy!
