only 12 months :shock: san you were 5 min early :lol: :lol:

well the site hans't half grown in the last twelve month and been expanded by dominic to meet the needs of its members. cheers dominic. but lets not forget all the hard work done by mod's and members alike, i have seen this site turned into first rate multi national genealogy site with members from all over the world. Where we can, we try to trace Our families all over the world from Austriala to India to America to Sweden.

But let's recognises the jewel in the crown, the site Black Country Section to which mosts of use connect to, this is proberly rated at least in my opinnion as the formost site anywhere thats dealing with black country genealogy. this is partly due to the efforts of nl (jan) And since june Kdw for all the time they have spent going to the archive to do the look up cheers lasses.

Right i could go on mentioning people all night but i wont, but there is one more to mention that Mallosa (san) for starting a gallery from scratch and having over a 700 picture in it with in twelve month. here to the next twelve months and as san would say, keep those picture coming in. :lol:

Crikey that years gone fast, a big thanks to all of the old crew from way back, you are all brilliant and are always there if I need any help or support, it's great to come on here and know you have good mates. I see it is exactly one year today since I joined, would have been my Grandfather's birthday, he was born 1.10.1890 in Halesowen Road Old Hill, so has to be a good omen. Cheers to Genealogy UK from Linell.
