New content in this update since February 2025
1. New photos added :
. A steady stream from friends and relatives, always welcome.
. In particular, a large number of Janering photos have been added.
. As a result, the indices for the Janerings has been upgraded so that you can find what you want to see more easily.
2. Technical changes - to accommodate the space-hogging nature of video :
. There are 2 versions of the album now available, one with and the other without the video and music files.
. The version with video and music requires 10.6GB of storage space, the version without the video and music, 1.3GB.
. In both versions of the album, the video can be streamed if you are on-line.
. But playing the video directly from a saved file is a much better viewer experience :
. the saved copy provides a video placeholder image on the webpage, otherwise you see just a small black box;
. the playback starts almost instantly;
. playback works off-line;
. you still have copies of the videos when Google goes bust.
3. My late sister Valerie Moore's Family Tree research :
. As mentioned on the about page, my sister Valerie Moore spent a lot of time researching various family histories.
. From her notes, I have assembled family trees for 10 family names, some going back to the 1790s.
. I have annotated the tree pages with snippets of information that Val noted, and added photographs when available.
. There is a menu of these 10 family trees on the main menu page of the album, with numerous links between the 10 family tree pages.
