Latest pages released
PAGE LAST UPDATED : 07 OCTOBER 2024
This page shows the genie data pages that have been uploaded into the database so far this year. Pages uploaded in earlier years are shown, in date order, here (2002-2011), here (2012-2021) and here (2022-2023). The subtotals in bold below, and on the prior-years pages, 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 from September 2002 to September 2024 (excluding the many draft & temporary pages).
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 related to Stirnet's founder's family (as reported on Sources and acknowledgments) 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 & FitzGeralds) but at the same time we were keen to include many 'small landowners' and 'townfolk' 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 may focus on a particular area of the British Isles or on a 'theme' (past themes have included the British Prime Ministers shown on the Selected Individuals page). If we are presently working on any theme or series of reviews, there will probably be reference to that in either the "PCBG notes" below or the Long-Term Projects page.
We welcome suggestions for families to work on PROVIDED THAT you give clear direction as to where the data may be (or has been) sourced (remember that Sources and acknowledgments identifies many of the sources we already have copies of) AND you allow properly for the fact that we operate to the constraints reported on the Lead index page.
Several people have been very helpful with this, not least with suggesting useful sources we had not used previously, and so have obtained Free Membership. For more information on this, see Membership Scheme.

PCBG notes (last updated 21.07.24)
(1) I have a large backlog of things to work through at the moment, not least:
* Catching-up with correspondence. I have problems keeping up with the emails I receive and do apologise to those of you who are still waiting for a response from me. For more on this, please see the Contact Us page.
* Working through several Long-term projects (see that page). Some of those projects are likely to be productive in generating new pages for the database but others may not be, being useful mainly for clarifying uncertainties or providing dates & other details.
* Trying to upgrade the huge amount of data in Draft & temporary pages: Can you help? so that it may be moved into 'the database proper'.
(2) Being apparently quiet for a while may mean that I have made only minor changes to the database pages in that period (something that is quite common; sometimes reviewing old pages & making minor changes can take longer than producing new pages) or that I am in the midst of a major project that is taking several days to complete (also quite common) or, of course, that I have simply not worked on the site recently.
A. Only on rare occasions will I work on Sections I & II of the database, the Ancient & Continental sections that cover the early ancestors of various British Royals and others (see Ancestral Lines). Normally I concentrate on expanding & improving Section III of the database ('British Families - Medieval, Renaissance & Modern'). If you wish to suggest a family for me to work on, please see "We welcome suggestions ..." above.
B. The following pages have recently been subjected to significant change/extension and/or review (some involving the insertion of new families): 06.07 TZmisc02 09.07 KZmisc07, Leigh12 12.07 WZmisc07 13.07 Clifford03 16.07 Berenger1 21.07 Parker10 23.07 Bowles2 24.07 BZmisc33 25.07 DZmisc14 26.07 BZmisc15 27.07 PZmisc03 29.07 CZmisc01, Langham2, Langham3 30.07 Oliver2 01.08 Bate1, Jesson1 05.08 TZmisc13 06.08 SZmisc24 10.08 CZmisc09 11.08 Hall05, NZmisc02 03.09 Armstrong03, VZmisc03, WZmisc09 08.09 LZmisc09 25.09 BZmisc30, Madocks02 28.09 Goldsmith1 29.09 GZmisc15 01.10 Armytage2, CZmisc04, OZmisc03 05.10 Pearce2 07.10 Porter03.
[N.B. I show here only pages that have been subjected to "significant" change/extension or review. That a page has recently been subjected to a lesser (albeit not trivial) change may still be identifiable through looking at the entry for that page on the relevant sub-index page to see when it was last updated. "Trivial" in this context may include the provision of additional linkages to other pages even if that is likely to be of interest to some Members - so, if there is a page that you are particularly interested in, don't forget to check it now & then to see whether or not connections have been added to it since you last looked at it.]
C. Latest non-trivial additions/changes to Draft & Temporary pages linked to/from the Can You Help? page (excluding movement of data into the main pages of the database): 25.07 Temp10 30.07 Temp03 06.08 Tmp15.
