How to find your way around this site.

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to fill in the gaps, add the photographs, the dates, the corrections. Even ... dare we say it ... the spice and the stories that turn history into living history!

Enjoy what's here, and enjoy contributing!

How to Find Your Way Around

There are three main sections to this site:

• Database of the descendants of Archibald and Elizabeth Blackwood,
• Generally-accessible material, and
• M. Gwen Blackwood's 1984 family history book, on which this site is based.

Click on the links in the left column or on the top navigation bar to go to the section that interests you.

The database is the engine-room. It contains details of the 700+ descendants — significant dates, notes and photographs, each linked and cross-linked. It opens in a separate page, and will leave the site page open behind so you can return to other sections whenever you want.

I've added the database material, plus more, to other site pages to make it accessible in a different way, and easier to view.

You can read Gwen's book online or download it to your own computer for reading or printing.
