This site is far from static. Every month there
are new additions (see below), so there is always something new to
discover. I usually have at least one series of articles in progress
along with a selection of other bits and pieces.
If you are a new visitor I hope you will come back
again. To my many regular visitors, thanks for your continued support
and kind words. Thanks also for all the feedback I have received. A
number of features have been incorporated as a result of these. Further
constructive comments are always welcome. You can e-mail me
here
Finally a number of visitors have asked me about
permission to use material from the site and other legal things. In
order to clarify this you will find the terms and conditions of use on
my contents page.
LATEST ADDITIONS - February 2012
This month I thought I'd include another newspaper
extract so I've chosen the Aberdeen Weekly Journal for May 30th 1900 and
included all the birth, marriage and death announcements, along with two
smaller articles. There's lots of names so have a look - perhaps that
'missing link' will be among them! Find it in my
Odds & Ends 5 page. Incidentally I've
had a bit of a tidy-up of this page and
Odds & Ends 4 - but don't worry - the articles are all still there -
just re-arranged somewhat!
Two more gravestones for my
Strays page. These are monuments to
those whose resting place may not be in the area they were associated
with during their lives. Is your ancestor waiting to be discovered? Some
have already been lucky and found long lost relatives - perhaps it'll be your turn
next!
Another splendid school photo
for you to enjoy. This time it's Torry Intermediate, circa 1950. Many
thanks to Jessie Lennie for the chance to share. Find it now on my
School Photos page!
LOCAL NEWS
So far we've missed the snow we encountered last
year. There's been some cold days but hopefully as the light (and sun!)
slowly returns the temperatures will start to rise. I
can't wait - the winter months are gloomy at best!
