Richard Ward's Comments

Hi Richard! Welcome to the new Stradbroke Website!

A really nice feature of this new website is that you can customise your own information page! When you 'sign in' you might notice the menu at the top of the page changes and a new item called 'My Page' appears. This is what it says - a page for you!

You can change the 'theme' (colours and patterns) for your page very easily (look at the menu on the left) - and most importantly - put up a 'photo' to replace the village sign silhouette that comes up by default! It'd be great to see a photo, but some people prefer to use a cartoon, or a picture of something that represents their interests.

Your 'My Page' is good place to put a little information about yourself - eg family history research interests so other members can see it, and maybe share info with you! This is also the page where you can share photographs too - it would be lovely to see pictures of the village for example, old or new!

Have a play with it and have a look at what others have done with their 'My Page' by clicking on 'Members' in the menu!

Most of all though, 'Welcome' we're pleased you've joined and hope you find the site enjoyable.

Hi Richard, would you be kind enough to look at the 'Ward' thread that I have put in the Family History section of the discussions bit...If you are from the local Ward family, it is possible we are related.

Thank you.

Stuart.
