>From Manchester City Council: This year marks the centenary of the Battle of the Somme, which began on July 1 1916 and lasted 141 days, resulting in over one million casualties on the Western Front and touching the lives of millions of familes at home. Manchester has been chosen to host the National Commemoration events on behalf of the country – come into the city centre to remember and pay respects to those who were involved, from 1pm onwards. How to pay your respects and join in the national commemoration events being held in Manchester This year marks the centenary of the Battle of the Somme which began on 1 July 1916 and lasted 141 days, resulting in over one million casualties on the Western Front, and touching the lives of millions of families at home. Northern England was the heartland of the Pals' Battalions throughout the First World War and was also at the centre of the huge industrial effort for the Somme. Heaton Park in north Manchester, one of the largest municipal parks in Europe, was also used in 1916 as a military training ground for many recruits before they went to the Somme. It's therefore fitting that Manchester has been chosen to host the national commemoration events on behalf of the country, to remember and pay respects to those who were involved. Come into the city centre to share in the national commemoration events and to pay your own respects to those who died, fought, or were otherwise affected by the Somme, which was one of the bloodiest and longest battles of the First World War. Here's an outline of what's going to be happening on the day and how you can join in: City centre The city centre is the place to come from 1pm onwards on 1 July to pay your respects and be part of the national commemoration. Activities will include an act of commemoration at the Cenotaph in St Peter's Square, a march of military and home-front organisations through the city centre, and the national service of commemoration at Manchester Cathedral for invited guests. There will also big screens in Albert Square and Cathedral Gardens relaying coverage of commemoration events and showing archive film footage from World War One. Parade of military and home-front organisations Military bands will accompany the city-centre parade of serving and non-serving military personnel, regimental associations and representatives, as well as home-front organisations and descendents. The parade will make its way along Mount Street, through Albert Square in front of the Town Hall, down John Dalton Street, Deansgate and Victoria Street, finishing at the Cathedral. Members of the public are encouraged to watch the parade to honour and remember those who lost their lives in the Battle of the Somme. Cenotaph Members of the public will be able to gather around the Cenotaph area in St Peter's Square to observe a short service led by the Bishop of Manchester, including the Bishop of Salford and the Royal British Legion Chaplain. A Royal Naval band will be present and a bugler will play the Last Post immediately before the start of a two-minute silence – the start and end of which will be signalled by the firing of guns – after which Reveille will be played. The service will also include the laying of wreaths on the Cenotaph by invited guests. Cathedral Service Manchester Cathedral will host the national service of commemoration. Attended by the Archbishop of York, the service begins at 3pm for invited guests only and will also be shown live on the big screens in Albert Square and Cathedral Gardens. Albert Square and Cathedral Gardens Coverage of events, including the national service commemoration being held at Manchester Cathedral, will be shown on the big screens in Albert Square and Cathedral Gardens until 4pm. The screens will also show archive footage from World War One at intervals throughout the day. Evening concert of commemoration at Heaton Park The day's commemorations conclude with a free evening concert in Heaton Park featuring the Hallé Orchestra, to pay tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of by so many. Starting at 7.30pm, the concert will include the completion of the 'Path of the Remembered' – a tiled pathway that will be laid in Heaton Park specially for the event. The path will be made up of 5,000 'memory squares' – each one of them designed and submitted by a member of the public to mark the stories and sacrifices of the men and women who played their part in the Battle of the Somme, either on the frontline or back at home. The concert will also feature soldiers' songs from the First World War performed by a national children's choir, interwoven with archive film, and a stunning performance piece involving 350 volunteers performing alongside professional dancers. This will be followed at approximately 8.30pm by the Hallé Orchestra, which will play several well-known pieces linked to the First World War, including one piece by George Butterworth, a young English composer who died at the Somme. The evening will feature a range of letters, poems and diary entries depicting the lives of those affected by the Somme – including a specially commissioned poem read by author and broadcaster Lemn Sissay. The Last Post will close the concert as the sun goes down at 9.43pm and will round off the day's commemorations. The event is free of charge but you will need a ticket to attend. To get one of the last few tickets available for the concert visit quaytickets.com/sommeheatonpark. Experience Field Heaton Park – Friday 1 July and Saturday 2 July Heaton Park will also be the venue for an Experience Field – a free, outdoor event made up of more than 30 period tents, each one hosting First World War experts, activities and artefacts. These will bring to life stories and information on nurses, soldiers and factory workers – and portray life on the Home and the Western Fronts. Ride on a heritage tram, meet the Lancashire Hussars horses, find out more about your own ancestry, and watch archive film from the Battle of the Somme itself. Enjoy performances from folk trio Harp and a Monkey, Threadbare Theatre, A Soldier’s Tale and the West Yorkshire Playhouse. Stop off at one of our speakers' tents and hear about the importance of animals, the development of artificial limbs and the Manchester and Salford Pals. You can also learn about conscientious objectors, how the Commonwealth War Graves Commission came into being and the ‘wild women’ of the First World War. Witness a Salvation Army unit, living history groups running a field kitchen and watch out for the Manchester Regiment which will be putting new recruits through their paces. Heaton Hall will take you back to the time it became a World War One military hospital and a team from the University of Manchester will give you a flavour of life for nurses working at Casualty Clearing Stations. Friday 1 July – open to anyone with a ticket for the evening concert before the concert starts between 4pm and 7pm. Saturday 2 July – open to members of the general public from 10.30am until 4pm, with activities starting at 11am. No tickets required – just turn up.

Received from the Bolton & District Branch of the Manchester & Lancashire Family History Society: Our next meeting will be on Wednesday June 1st. A late change of programme from the one advertised at http://www.bolton.mlfhs.org.uk/: A talk by Steve Fielding has been cancelled, but David Lloyd will be stepping in to tell us about the "Trams of Bolton, featuring the development from the Bolton 'Horse way' Trams to the electric powered trams from 1890-1947". He promises to tell us about the restoration of tram 66 (see https://goo.gl/cJaxKG). Those who attended our April meeting might remember David gave us a 5-minute flying visit to tell us about the project, and he is now stepping in at short notice to give us a more detailed and illustrated report. Further to this we are hoping to arrange a visit to the line and tram sheds in Heaton Park, Whitefield (see https://goo.gl/supobO). David, who lives in Bradshaw, has told us of how he started off as a volunteer in Bolton renovating tram 66, which was then put in service on Blackpool promenade. He is now involved with others ! in renovating more old models in the museum and workshop at Heaton Park. All welcome to our usual venue at Old Links Golf Club, Chorley Old Road, Bolton BL1 5 SU with beverages available from 7pm to start at 7.30pm June 1st. Please note we are now using the larger upstairs room which has approx. 15 shallow steps. A lift is planned but not arrived as yet, but we have a good handrail! Small charge to non-members of Manchester and Lancashire FHS. A Help Desk will be available afterward as usual, and stationery sales and recycling of old family history magazines will also be available. Further information can be obtained via bolton@mlfhs.org.uk or by contacting secretary Barbara Owen on 01204 309515

"In March this year the GENUKI service turned 21. As part of its coming of age, GENUKI – the UK & Ireland Genealogical Information Service – is being given an extensive makeover, to provide a better experience for its end users and to make it easier for page maintainers to maintain and develop. In particular it should help us to recruit additional people to help maintain and develop GENUKI. (Hopefully we will be able to bring on board further people who know about family history even if they have little prior experience of web page creation, as a lot of the computer expertise that has to date been involved in maintaining GENUKI pages is removed from the maintainers’ task.). "This makeover involves the conversion of GENUKI to a Content Management System (CMS) based on Drupal. A CMS such as Drupal takes over responsibility for the management of a website’s data (the “information content”), and the look and feel of the website, leaving the website’s maintainers to concentrate on providing the website’s information content without the need to know the technical details of constructing and formatting web pages. This also makes it easier to ensure consistency of presentation of information, and – when so wished – to introduce site-wide changes and new facilities. What GENUKI users will see is greater consistency across the counties, supported by an improved search facility, whilst in the future we will have a framework that enables us to provide additional ways of presenting and viewing GENUKI’s data. Already we have been able to provide much more information for each of many thousands of parishes regarding (i) various kinds of maps s! howing the location of the parish, and (ii) sources of photographs related to the parish. "In addition to creating the new Drupal platform, this work requires the conversion of all of GENUKI’s original content from its former HTML page structure into Drupal nodes. So far some 90,000 pages have been converted, which has involved the creation of specialised software routines to first separate the data content from the underlying HTML, and then further separate the content itself into its individual topics, from which the new pages can then be reconstituted. "Conversion began in mid-2015, beginning with the pages at the UK and Ireland level, followed by those for England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, together with a number of counties in each of these four countries. The many remaining county and parish pages are now being dealt with steadily, county by county, whilst ensuring that there is minimal disruption to our normal service. The current state of progress is shown in our Conversion Status page at http://www.genuki.org.uk/news/drupal/implementation/status. (This also shows which counties are in need of someone to take on the task of further expanding their information content.) "GENUKI’s address remains http://www.genuki.org.uk. During the transition, as users navigate around GENUKI they are able to move seamlessly between old and new style pages. Links to pages outside GENUKI are also now marked with a little icon – a small square and upward pointing arrow. "The conversion task is being carried out by a 5-person conversion team, led by Phil Stringer." Good on you, Phil! Many thanks for all you do for the genealogy community. Kindest regards, Lynne

Welcome back, everyone! That was a long time, wasn't it? Seems things are not completely fixed. According to the message on the Help Desk page, "In late February 2016, the RootsWeb site experienced hardware failure. Our development and web operations teams have worked diligently and carefully to restore much of the functionality and we're currently performing a site audit. If you see any issues you'd like to report please reach out to Member Services through our support form." The support form can be found at http://rootsweb.custhelp.com/app/ask It appears some of the problems that still exist are not all messages that were sent during the down time have arrived on the lists, recent list messages are not appearing in the archives, and the gateway from the message boards to the lists still does not work properly. If there are any other issues, please do report them to the Help Desk. In the meantime, enjoy the list! Kind regards, Lynne

Wednesday February 3rd at 7.30pm: Jacqui Crosby, Senior Archivist, Lancashire Archives, is coming to tell us about "Saving the Hulton Papers for the Lancashire Archives". A report about the campaign to save the Hulton archive and why it is so important. Many will recall the desperate fund raising that the Manchester and Lancashire FHS had a small part in in 2014, to retain this collection intact in Lancashire. The project was thankfully successful and two important collections of documents have been retained in the County Record Office at Preston. The cataloguing will take at least another 6 months with some documents going back to the 12th C and we are thrilled they they are staying near their home. The usual Help Desk, stationery table and recycle tables will also be available. Normal charges will be all MLFHS members free, with tea & coffee also now available £1 each, and none members £1.50 at the door. We are now of course at our new venue of the Old Links Golf Club, Chorley Old Road , Bolton, England BL1 5SU. Our first meeting of the new year held last week was a great success, with 88 attending and I think all will agree a very successful evening. Some inevitable "teething problems" became evident which we expected but all solvable. A report will appear shortly in our newsletter due out at the end of next week http://www.bolton.mlfhs.org.uk/Newsletter.php

Jacqui Crosby, Senior Archivist, Lancashire Archives, will talk about "Saving the Hulton Papers for the Lancashire Archives". A report about the campaign to save the Hulton archive and why it is so important. Many will recall the desperate fund-raising that the Manchester & Lancashire FHS had a small part in in 2014 to retain this collection intact in Lancashire.

One covers the 12th - 19th C, with much of it in mediaeval Latin, and includes family letters and deeds giving a window into life during the Plague, Great Fire, Interregnum and onwards, as it effected the Hulton family who were connected by a marriage to William Jessop a follower of Oliver Cromwell. The second collection covers the 19th and 20th C and includes estate papers and mentions Magistrate William Hulton’s role in the Peterloo incident during the Industrial Revolution.
