Hi Everyone My usual apologies for taking so long to do an update but I’ve taken on a few too many tasks and I’m afraid it is the family tree that has had to move down the priority list – as usual. Anyway, I hope that you are all keeping well Roy Parker has asked if there is anyone who...

In June 2014 the whole website (Jacobs Tree and my personal area) has again been hacked (I’m afraid I don’t understand why people would want to do this.) Many thanks to those people who alerted me to this – unfortunately I don’t look at it every day, or even every week. Unfortunately my backup wasn’t thorough enough to be able...

Hi It is a long while since I distributed a newsletter. This is largely because the flow of information dried up. I didn’t see the point in possibly annoying people by sending out emails when there was not a lot to say. There is a danger that people will become annoyed with receiving emails when there is either nothing of...

Hi   Apologies for not having done anything for a couple of months but I’ve been busy with other task.   Technical Updated Joomla to v1.7 on 03/04 September This resulted in the family tree database being offline overnight (UK time) for 12 hours Updated the document images in the family tree database on 04 September – images offline for...

Hi Everyone Quite a large update this time. PLEA FOR FEEDBACK Could I ask people to let me have some feedback regarding the site please. Working in isolation means that I only do what seems right to me without knowing how it impacts on other users. The database/tree – Does the software do what you want?, – Is there a...

Hi Everyone   A reasonable amount of information to report this time, and I still have 30+ emails to deal with which I am hoping to make inroads into whilst on holiday for a week starting next Friday – nowhere exciting, unless you think Ledbury falls into that category J   Dave   Mooney family Christine Gavin nee Mooney contacted...

Hi Everyone Just a very quick update. Julia Isaacs Thanks for the feedback on Julia Isaacs in the previous update – this is being discussed by several people and I will report back once a consensus has been reached. Henry Jacobs [Z005] Gerry Newnham has sent in a photograph of his tombstone in West Ham cemetery along with a partial...

Hi I hope that everyone is keeping well – especially those of you in Australia with all the weather you’ve been having. Unfortunately I don’t know what areas everyone down there is in. It’s been 6 weeks since I sent the last update so there’s a reasonable amount to tell you. Swaebe Carol Ann Swaebe Stephen has been in touch...
