A warm welcome to my website with information and stories covering a number of my principal interests.
01
Family – Genealogy
Below you will find access my Genealogy website. This was opened some years back when I became concerned with the lack of veracity of the data found on many genealogy sites and databases. I had the good fortune to discover The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding (“TNG”), a powerful way to manage and display your family tree on your own website, all without generating any static HTML. Instead, your information is stored in a database and the pages are created on demand. Coupled with a policy of using only sourced information gleaned from sites such as ancestry.com and Find my Past I believe I have a more effective way and efficient foundation for incorporating reliable data.
Then of course we now have what I regard the “Rolls Royce” of Family Search opportunities with FamilyTreeDNA.
The core purpose of this exercise is to extend outreach and move into the Blog world with my family stories.
02
Sport
From an early age I have been interested in sports. Rugby at age 10, with a combined Leamington/Hautapu side in the Cambridge Sub Union and progressing through Upper Hutt, Titahi Bay and Stokes Valley, back to Upper Hutt and finishing my run with the Upper Hutt Golden Oldie Rams.. Then with Rowing, starting with a couple of trial runs at Karapiro and then with Star Boating Club in Wellington. I have filled this spot with photos and my writings of the histories of Star and Upper Hutt RFC.
