I have reworked this web site to use a more modern WordPress theme (based on TwentyThirteen), rather than the archaic one.

It now looks much cleaner with more space and, importantly, adapts the layout to different screen sizes.  On iPads the right hand side bar moves to the bottom to preserve the main display area and on small iPads the header image is shrunk.  On iPhone-sized screens, when the top menu bar would have to become multi-line, it is replaced by a pull-down menu.

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.

The layout has also improved and it is now possible to view and navigate a five-generation pedigree chart for each person, which helps visualise how they fit in.

Enjoy!

I have in my possession two photographs, both  inscribed on their back:   Marchbank    August 31st 1910.  Ostensibly, they were taken on the same day, but note that, with the possible exception of the youngest,  the children are all dressed differently in the two pictures.  Either they changed, or they were taken on different days.  August 31st 1910 was a Wednesday, so this was not a weekend gathering.  Perhaps it was a holiday.
