Morning everyone
This is just to let you know that as of now Jo aka grangers 14 will be running BCC aka Black Country connections.
I am stepping Down from running it..and stepping up on life!
So it is time for a new custodian.
I wish Bcc all the best for the future


Thanks to all the friends I have met along the way.
I am still on the forum and once I get my computer sorted will be back to researching..need to hit the DNA trail.
life sometimes gets in the way doesn't it!

Thanks again Jan aka NL xx

Have a good rest Jan, You helped me a lot over the years with adding to bcc site and sorting problems and brick walls. Best of luck

I was going to put some smartarse remarks on about being a Drama Queen bowing out and starting a new life but i can't.
I think its sad you're stopping and its liike the end of an era (i'm being a Drama Queen now thats Gay Pride last week in Amsterdam rubbing off on me !!)
Jan whatever you do i know you'll be good. xxx
I wish Jo all the best. Err umm can i still add things to BCC?

Jan, sorry to see your post. I just want to thank you for all the time you have spent helping me. I wish you well! Jo also has been very helpful and has helped me many times. I'm sure she will do and excellent job.

No need for thanks NL, it's been my pleasure!

Nothing will be changing on BCC.

Good luck in your retirement,its been a pleasure working with you and the team

Every once in a while, you meet a person that you instantly click with and you’re definitely one of those people.
I’m so happy that we got to spend the time we did together. Enjoy your new found freedom Jan

You couldn't have handed over to a better person than Jo, she'll do the business!

Jan it only seems like yesterday that I met you at coseley Archives.
Enjoy your rest.
Everyone involved on here has helped me so much over the years, and I'll be forever grateful.
Thank you

I vividly remember that particular day at Dudley Archives Jan when you mentioned to me that you'd got this idea of starting up a web site so that all Black Country families could be connected up in some way. That was the beginning of Black Country Connections and who would ever have thought that after 11 years the site is going from strength to strength.

Congratulations to Jan and Jo for making this idea actually happen.

Good Luck Jan in whatever you do and get that computer fixed. xx

Thanks so much for all the really nice comments

I must just say that without cousin Kate aka gardener Black Country connections would never have
Been born.
Kate set it up with me and her expertise and knowledge helped me a complete novice.
Can I also thank San aka mallosa and Kay Kdw, Annie and Rob people who helped with bcc
At different times.
And all those that have helped with info and verifying stuff.
Thank you.

A brilliant team effort.
