WHAT IS THIS SITE?This site is a "portal" or "gateway" site enabling you to open the doors into a number of selected web-sites of particular interest to genealogists, by providing links to each of those web-sites from its pages. There is a special focus on Monmouthshire, Wales & the UK, Surname studies, Web page creation, Maps, Places, Books and Computer software (since those are my own particular interests). I first designed it as a page on the Gwent FHS web-site, and so it was initially tailored towards helping visitors researching into the historic county of Monmouthshire. But soon it became so large that it deserved a site of its own, which enabled me to widen its focus to other specialist areas. It thus became a useful service for another of my web-sites, that of the Association of Family History Societies of Wales. Whether you found this site from the Gwent FHS web-site, or that of the Association of Family History Societies of Wales, from using a search facility, or on the recommendation of a friend, I hope it will help you find sites of interest to progress your research. NAVIGATING THIS SITEAll the recommended sites/pages are itemised by category. Choose your category using one of the menu keys on the left to go to that page of items. They are listed in alpahabetical order, within country where applicable (ignoring "A" and "The"). Links are normally shown in red text, but any link that you have already visited recently will be shown in blue text. When you follow up a link in any category it will open up in a new, separate window. After you finish viewing it, close the window down and you will then return to this site so you can follow other links.CATEGORIES AND NAMES
UPDATING THE LINKS
|
|||||||||||||||
Sites or pages covering more than one category have multiple links, since the link is repeated under each of the categories applicable.
A red sphere indicates an item that has been newly added or updated,
as part of the latest amendment (you'll find the date the page was last updated under the heading).
A blue sphere indicates an item recently added or updated,
but as part of a previous amendment.
A chain-link symbol denotes that
this link is unchanged following recent updates/additions.
If you can't get through to a particular site, but get a message such as "The page cannot be displayed", try again later because it may just be a short term network problem - some sites get bombarded with visits at peak times of the day. And remember that the peak times are spread across the various time-zone around the world, so it might be quieter in the UK after midnight but it's then still early evening in the States. If a site remains inaccessible, however, it might be because the web site has either changed its address or has been discontinued, which is why the link will no longer work.:- Links from this site |

A. Please send me an e-mail in case I'm not already aware of it. I'll try to find out what happened to it, but I may not succeed - remember, I don't control sites I link to. |

B. If the link is shown as currently broken [X] and you have discovered what the address now is, naturally I would appreciate receiving an e-mail so I can mend the link by inserting the new address. |
