Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to one and all.<\/p>\n
Many thanks to all who have contributed to The Williams Family Tree over the last year – there are too many to mention by name. Contributions are always welcome be it information about a single individual, a family, or a complete branch. Financial contributions to the upkeep of the website are also welcome \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
The database has grown considerably over the last twelve months and continues to do so. My resolution this year is to finish off all the branches that have been started, including the 360 items on my “to-do” list, some going back to early 2008! The problem is that I keep getting side-tracked by one family or another and that leads me off on a tangent that I hadn’t planned for! All good stuff.<\/p>\n
Now, however, I have am adding more and more source information and using different techniques to record the information so I will have to re-visit many of the 87,600+ individuals and 25,500+ families to update their information. This is going to take a long time! Also, new information is coming online on an almost daily basis so there are always more records to research.<\/p>\n
Various recent technical problems are mostly sorted now apart from one very minor issue. Legacy Family Tree is currently not exporting the correct image data and so photographs, census images etc., are not being linked correctly. The programmers have solved the issue, twice, but have failed to get the necessary code into the last two upgrades. I am assured that it will be in the next upgrade…<\/p>\n
The other major problem was that the server hosting the website had issues and when it came back on line it refused to give me access to the website from my computer. I could access it from anywhere else, but not at home – where my data is. Thankfully, that has now been sorted but until Legacy gets their act together I am unable to update the images on the website.<\/p>\n
Hopefully, everything will be back on track before the New Year and I can reset my targets. Currently, I’m planning to “stop” when I reach 100,000 individuals or my 70th birthday. Whichever comes first! Of course, by the time the latter occurs the 1921 UK census information will be available!!<\/p>\n
Back to the plot. It’s the Silly Season and so I have added a couple of silly items to the website. Snow that you can control the direction of by moving the mouse and a set of flashing lights that you can smash if you want to! Have fun.<\/p>\n
Enjoy the festivities wherever you are but don’t forget – Drink or Drive, don’t do both!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
