To Keep you posted

Even since the last update a few weeks ago and my plans to add the details of the wills that I have things have changed. I did make a start and have got as far a John in the alphabetical list of first names.

However a spate of enquires and the release of Version 5 of Second Site (the software that is used to build the website from The Master Genealogist database).

New enquiries are always welcome - even if it is to only point out an error. One of the biggest problems with a one-name study of this size is trying to sort out the common first names. for example there are over 1,700 births, marriages and deaths between 1837 and 2005 that mention John as a first name.

The recent enquiries have enabled more information to be added to the master database on recent descendants and whilst these are living people their details will not appear on the website but they are included in the master database. the more interesting ones are from

John HALSTEAD, Alan HALSTEAD, Dave HALSTEAD, Colin HALSTEAD, Claudia MARTIN, Alan McDONALD, Bryn PITCHER, Jemima HALSED-HARRIS and Sheila JUBB

The next website update will be on Sunday 12th May and will include the new features of Second Site 5
