Who would ever have imagined that on one September day last year a small band of genealogists looking for a new home would lead us to this. It is a credit to everyone involved behind the scenes and to all of you that the site goes from strength to strength. Our doors are now open to all and we are welcoming new members every day.

It is something that can only get better as you all now have the chance to add to it and help it grow. Along with this the looker-uppers and problem solvers on Research Advice have been helping to breakdown brickwalls all over the place so if you have a puzzle of your own waiting to be solved get posting.
