OK...so lets see if I have this right. This site we enjoy, is a creation under the auspices of rootsweb, tangleweb or websites organization who's primary interest is genealogical research, and yet as was accurately pointed out by a couple of posters, from the getgo, all were pulled into check and muted when anyone asked about a specific family or members or information thereof. Haha. I too miss the Orkney-in-a-jar (apodo) website, and I often use it for reference to assist/direct others in my family who might ask something of our heritage or history. Still haven't figured out though, how this sort of thing can have a tenth or twentieth anniversary without someone passing the hat for donations. Somewhere somebody has launched a server etc. Thus, according to roots web home page, we are I suppose the unique non genealogical chapter of that genealogical website organization, with an Orkney-only focus and a legacy of long naps and occasional "scraps" of interesting Orcadiana memorabilia and tourismo. hmm. Cheers....headed north for awhile. Days are long now up there, and the air easier to breathe. Only 46 degrees north as opposed to Kirkwall @ a whisker under 59 degrees. Or one sixth closer to the equator than Kirkwall. Nice on the water this time of year in both places.
