Additional Cartoon added to Joseph Patrick's
story (he's the one who stepped from a WW1 prison camp into a German
sub to land in Ireland to be captured by the British and kept in the
Tower of London!) It's a good picture from Peter Jones (thanks)
and I think it looks good printed in high resolution and framed!
Also from Peter is information from a newspaper cutting which forms the
basis of the first WW2 page on the D Day landing.
There has also been a little technical dabbling for the search engines.

As it was my birthday today I converted some of my own tree to a
'gedcom' for a Dynamic Family Tree. This is accessible from the Author's
Tree page. I also changed the Certificates page to a Wanted
page. The banners, pretty as they were, have been removed from the
home page to improve loading speed.

Finally recovered after serious computer breakdown. An electricity
surge burned out the components it took from March to June for the Insurance
company to replace the machine. Of course, I had back-ups of

had some minor help pages attached. I have also added a researchers
details in the Links Page. My ISP doesn't
do databases yet; I tried a big page of names but it would take ages to
load. One day...
4 January 2000
Some new information but mostly a re-jig of the Miscellaneous page to an Information
for the Millennium page. This page now incorporates aspects of the
Ancients pages and may later replace it altogether. I may also start
putting chronological history landmarks into this page to give it
perspective. Some bad links to pictures were corrected on the Ancients
pages as well. Please e-mail me if you find things that don't work or
are particularly slow.
