Hi You may be interested in the new web site I have set up with my wife Mary (a Colby) http://www.colby-connections.com Although the site is worldwide I am especially interested in building knowledge of Ireland and England. Certainly many Colbys will have gone to other countries too. At present the site is moving into beta stage having now been set up and tested. Although a subscription is mentioned this is not active for the time being so you are free to use the site totally. The site carries no advertising at all, and the subscription (only needed to view full records) is designed to help defray hosting costs). Adding facts is a key part of the sites aims, especially pre 1900 which will help forge historic links. I would be pleased if could add some facts in your knowledge to support the site in its early stages. Besides the database itself which can be added to via: http://www.colby-connections.com/factshare.htm There is a discussion board to engage in questions and answers, debate or anything Colby connected, please ask for any new boards. At present this focuses on England, Ireland, USA, Europe, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. http://www.colby-connections.com/discuss/index.php I would appreciate feedback and comments so we can "fix" any issues or add new features which you may feel we lack. Thanks for your time.
