PAGE LAST UPDATED : 17 MAY 2008 This page shows the dates on which recently-added Family List pages were uploaded into the database. The dates when earlier Family List pages were added may be found from following the links below. The subtotals in bold below, and on the prior-years page, show the numbers of the pages at various midpoint dates (in order Section I-Section II-Section III = Ancient-Continental-British) which have been used to provide the following graph. This shows the growth of the database over the period from mid-September 2002 to mid-May 2008. Number

You may wonder
what makes us decide to include some families before others. The answer is that
there is often little logic or specific purpose to it. We started
off with certain core families
and then gradually expanded the database, trying to cover all parts of the British Isles. We recognised that
it would be sensible for us to develop a base of some 'major' familes (such
as the Stewarts, Tudors, Howards, and FitzGeralds) but at the same time we were
keen to include many 'small landowners' to evidence that we intend for the database
to set a broad target for people who want to find connections to historical
figures and not just make it easier for people who already have a clear connection
to a well-documented family. From time to time we have focused on a 'theme'
such as British Prime Ministers or other categories on the Selected
Individuals page. The only fixed constraints we operate to are that:
(1) with few exceptions, we focus on British & Irish families and do not come more forward
in time than generations with at least one person born by 1800.
(2) with no exceptions, we shall not include a family in our database until
we have found a connection between that family and another family which is already
in the database.

A.
We normally concentrate on expanding & improving Section III of
the database (British Families - Medieval, Renaissance & Modern) but occasionally we will focus on Sections I and II, the Ancient and Continental
sections that cover the early ancestors of various British Royals and others
(see Ancestral Lines). From time to time we provide Advance Notice to draw attention to particular pages in those sections which we are about to review. If you are particularly interested in any of those pages and have researched them in any detail and have found errors or gaps in what we are showing there at present, please share your findings with us so that we may accommodate them when we carry out our review.
B. The following pages have recently been subjected to significant change/extension and/or review: AZmisc03 (04.04.08), MZmisc09 (12.04.08), MiddletonXA (23.04.08), ByrneXX (25.04.08), FZmisc03 (11.05.08), BZmisc09 (12.05.08), Napier2 (13.05.08).
*** On 27.04.06 we made (provisionally) a significant change to Stewart01, being to the mother of Walter Stewart, father of King Robert II of Scotland. We would welcome any comments on this from anyone who has researched this matter and can help clarify the position. ***
