An appopriate day (that of the Patron Saint of Wales) to launch this site, bearing in mind the strong Welsh connections of the name.

About This Website

This website was first launched as a distinct set of pages on the business website www.skyrme.com (the Knowledge Connections website providing information and resources on knowledge management). It was moved in November 2005 to its new domain www.skyrme.info which is hosted by www.123-reg.co.uk. See the timeline below for how this site has evolved.

It is maintained by the author, David Skyrme, a former business manager, management consultant and writer, and now semi-retired, living in Highclere, Hampshire, England.

What's New - November 2005

New website launched with its own domain www.skyrme.info:

• New (and old?) look and feel
• Improved navigation - top and side menus
• New logical structure - allowing for expansion
• Minor additions to content (links)
• Old non-working links removed eg. Clive Pinch's Skyrme records

This new website has had little new material added. This will follow - see below. The main purpose of this revamp has been to create the right look and structure for adding significantly more content.

Plans and Wish List

During the last year the author has been updating his family tree material with considerable help from daughter Karen who has researched census records and numerous other sources. The author's data has been transferred from an older program (Generations - which is not now actively enhanced) to Roots Magic. Roots Magic was chosen following an evaulation of several programs including Family Tree Maker, Master Geneaologist and others. It provides a balance between ease-of-use and ability to add fields. Most importantly it also automatically creates web pages from its data (yet to be tried). Thus, our near term plans include:

• Significant addition to content from our own archives
• Provision of family tree branches - created from our database
• Addition of information from other Skyrmes (with their permission).

To comply with data protection and privacy legislation photos of living persons will only be shown with their permission. Also, contributors to feedback must give explicit permission for material which is not in the public domain to be reproduced.
