A proposed ‘Information sought’ panel will be introduced on this page.
Many people ask about families, places and things. Some of these requests are made on Chatterbox* but not many are answered. Perhaps you are too shy to open an account. Don’t be! However, you can always send
any information to the
Webmaster although a Chatterbox is preferred.
*I am very sorry to report that the Chatterbox Bulletin Board has been Hacked.
I am trying to restore it from my backup files but it is a difficult and lengthy job.
In the meantime, if there is something which you would like to say, please go to Feedback
