What's in the pipeline?

There are projects under way in the following areas, at different stages of completion. Some of these are hugely time-consuming, and will take many months, particularly the databases. As the researcher also has to work for a living, please be patient! When a project is nearing completion, an estimated date for uploading to the web will be shown on this page.

NEW DATABASES

The pure genealogical data yet to be added to searchable databases on the site will multiply the information currently available manyfold. Some will take the form of family-based databases, others will consist of region-based IGI information for individuals and smaller branches of the family that we have been unable as yet to connect to the principal family lines. This is a huge task, as in many cases there are extensive notes to be transcribed and linked to the individuals concerned.
