Hi Listers Just to let you know that I have added new information and links to /all /the parish pages on the Genuki Westmorland site.http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/WES/ Inevitably I will have introduced some formatting errors during the changes, which I will try to put right in the coming weeks. But if you see any errors or broken links please let me know. My next priority is to improve the maps. I deliberately kept them small when I first introduced them in order to reduce the time needed to download them. But now that most people have broadband I can make them bigger, and less of a strain on the eyes. I also have other ideas for enhancements, but increasing the coverage of the church photos will have a lower priority (as there are so many other places you can find pictures on the Web)... I have worked out that I have been maintaining this website for over 10 years, and the rate at which interesting new sites come out has never been as high. And the usefulness of the information available now was unimaginable when I started. But if you know of any crucial sites I have missed please don't hesitate to tell me. And also if you have content you are prepared to donate please let me know. (though please only information that is of interest to Westmorland, and not information for individual families, as again there are other sites for posting your trees etc). Best regards to all Dave Huddart Paris PS If you don't know what Genuki is, try it out! http://www.genuki.org.uk <http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/WES/> M
Great website Dave, thanks!!! You have put a tremendous amount of effort into it. I have around 160 photos of Westmorland on my SarahsTravels site, thanks to Ted Relph, ace travel guide. The 3 Westmorland albums are up at the top. I have more photos. http://www.picturetrail.com/sarahstravels Not on a website yet, in addition to Bellasis Church Notes, I also have 3 books transcribed by volunteers on the list, that were posted to this list several years ago: Westmorland - Magna Britannica (1700s) Vale of Lyvennet - compiled ca 1860, published 1910 Tour of Westmorland - by Sir Clement Jones 1948 (approved by his grandson to transcribe) Magna Britannica and Tour of Westmorland have some very cool maps and illustrations. I have several maps I can send you, at a large scale. I'll put them all on Sarahstravels and you can decide if you want to use them. ;-) Thanks again for a great website!!!
