Our Guest Book has a new entry should you wish to read this.

Jacqui Yallup writes:
Thank you so very much for passing those e-mails onto me, I was really beginning to loose hope with my project but really do not want to give it up at this stage as I have over 400 pages on the old families.
Thank you, thank you.

Jacqui is also sending us a copy of her History behind Caversham, Natal. She has it both in book and CD. If you would like access it will be available on CD at the Durban Family History Centre.

An inscription on a sundial on the highest point in a cemetery in Stirling:
"I am but a shadow
So are you
I mark the time
What do you do?"

Genealogy World

Although all GENEALOGY WORLD information is easily accessible from the MAIN MENU - from time to time - we notice researchers being unaware of information we have available.

WEBSITE VISITORS

This month, for a change, we’re shining the Spotlight on OUR SITE VISITORS!

Genealogy World is only as good as careful perusal of its content will allow. The answers to many queries can be found within the information offered on the site. Recently an enquirer, having accessed Genealogy World more than once, e-mailed us to ask about her Natal ancestors. Within two seconds we found baptisms of FOUR of her family members in our index to the Wesleyan Verulam Baptismal Registers - references which she had apparently missed. Naturally, she was delighted to have these details, but she could have had the thrill of making the discovery herself (every family historian will identify with that feeling)! Our advice is: don’t skim; take the time to go through the main menu and to read the relevant sections slowly and carefully. We invite you to return again and again to absorb everything Genealogy World has to offer.

With the above in mind, we were pleased to hear from one of Genealogy World's Australian fans, who says:

"I have just visited your website again after a period of time and again I have to congratulate you all! It is the most informative and interesting website I have ever accessed. Your home page warms and welcomes immediately, begging one to discover tantalizing information and unlock secrets of the past! With so very many varied and intriguing topics, it is also extremely difficult to log off!

To you, Delyse, and all your colleagues who share this incredibly rich and precious information with us all, very sincere thanks."
