My other interest is in family history which evolved into providing a website for others whose families settled in the Hunter Valley in NSW Australia. Itâs a one stop âshopâ for information about the Hunter and there is also a Forum for discussion. There is also a photo gallery, I use Coppermine.
The website has been running for about 10 years and attracts around 125,000 hits a month. I learnt html from books, however my skills are falling behind modern website design. MySQL and a smattering of PHP was a nightmare to learn but easy once it was mastered.
Am also about to publish a book/CD, âThe Pre 1900 Hunter Valley Pioneer Directoryâ for which I am now receiving submissions from other descendants of pioneers of the Hunter. The closing date of submissions is the end of September â07 so think I will be pretty busy after that date.
I have visited most of the towns in the Hunter and taken photographs of places of interest to add interest to the website â thatâs when my interest in photography began. BTW the photographs are not good, I need to do it all again ....sigh!
The website is at http://www.huntervalleygenealogy.com if you would like to visit and comment.
