Normal service hopefully restored soon... - and now is

An upgrade to my broadband plan has had an unexpected side effect.
Until how to get out of that mess has been resolved, any of my website links that go to http://Genie.lornahen.com will be unavailable.
That includes:
  • Lorna's Links
  • Guestbook
  • Contact
at least, probably others.
Remember that most of my web pages also have a contact/feedback email link in their footers.

21 Jul 2017 update - there isn't one. Still having problems.
3 Aug 2017: All back - let me know if anything still not working. Mind you there's always opportunities for me to muck things up of my own accord without tempting fate by upgrading something.

Website changes

Status update on my websites.
A bit of rationalization is occurring behind the scenes - slowly, of course, genealogy and dna are far more interesting!
A casualty for a while was my genie.lornahen.com - which holds, amongst other things, my Lorna's Links, and contact form - both of which most sites point to.
Should be back now.

In the review of what's where I did decide it's time to give up on RootsWeb as a Guestbook provider given that it has been more or less unoperational for quite some time.
Although a replacement is not yet in place* a snapshot of all posts (as at June when it was briefly available) from the RootsWeb Guestbook do now appear on genie.lornahen.com as an historical record.

Although things are still in a state of flux, and likely to remain so for quite some time, please do let me know if something doesn't work as expected.

22 Nov 2016 update:
Guestbook now in place - links from other websites may take a little longer to be changed

Yes I know...

That my links and notes site, LornaGenie is currently down.
Bit of a hard disk failure.
Recovery is underway but will take many hours to be back fully functioning.
This also impacts Lorna Surnames and the associated (private access only) tng and dna subsites.

Re-org continues


My original Research pages are gradually being split into genealogy and "real life" and shifted to either LornaGenie or  LornaHen.com as appropriate.
A wonderful photo of the hawk resident in the area by the lagoons bordering my place hastened the move of the photos of some of the wildlife in the vicinity.
Enjoy.

Have you considered...

FamilyTree DNA have announced another good round of test discounts.
Details available on the DNASurnames project diary where the list of projects I have an interest in may also be found.
Direct male line descendants of my DAWE, WIGHT, & FAMILTON lines are particularly wanted.
Happy to explain how this is a painless, harmless process that will enhance our knowledge of the families concerned - contact details in footers of most pages.
We've had great successes with the RUNCIMAN and FAIRBAIRN projects.
Some links that may help explain dna testing for genealogy can be found on my Lorna Genie site.

LornaGenie

Those that had access to my prior LornaGenie website may be pleased/indifferent to know that it is returning, piece by piece.
There will continue to be open and restricted pages - the distinction primarily being because the content behind a logon is purely notes, rather than fully researched webpages,  on assorted topics either of interest to me, or the subject of a presentation, or a WEA course.
The notes on the latter two are intended to supplement what was presented, and to prevent a paper war.
I'm taking the opportunity to rationalise some of my other bits and bobs on the web, so the main LornaGenie site will include/already includes some of the non family related parts of my Research website
