Forum out of Order at October 2019 Contact Us with your Comments or Questions
via our Discussion Forum and
we will do our best to help.
The forum has an RSS feed (What
is an RSS feed?) so that you can subscribe for news of
the latest topics direct to your PC. There are plenty of free
RSS readers available and most modern web browsers allow you
to access RSS feeds ie. the Live Bookmarks feature on FireFox,
which will ask you if you want to subscribe when you visit
an RSS feed page. RSS links usually appear with this symbol
which will take you to our Forum feed. Click the link to view
the feed or drag it to your RSS reader.
You can see this RSS feed on the right, displayed in our free
downloadable Widget (Win & Mac) which you can use if you
don't already have an RSS reader program installed. The widget
also provides feeds with content from the What's New page
so that you can really keep up-to-date with changes on the
site, and it also offers a feed from the Rootsweb mailing
list ENG-YKS-CRAVEN.
Read our introduction to RSS
feeds and how to access them and feel free to join in
and leave your comments or questions on the Forum, where you
may well find someone with just the information you are looking
for.
What
you will find here:We
offer an extensive range
of information of interest to local and family historians,
plus lots of links to other relevant sites too.
Information
is divided into groups under the local township names for
easy navigation. Just select the Village that interests you
from the navigation buttons and see what is available.
The
site is based on the historic ecclesiastical Parish
of Kirkby in Malhamdale, but we also have some information
on other nearby townships that fit socially and geographically
within the area (Coniston Cold, Eshton, Winterburn and Bordley).
Don't
forget to look at the Malhamdale page for more general information
about the area.
The
dedicated Malhamdale Local History Group section contains
an interesting variety of projects for you to look at, plus
full information about the group's activities.
Quick
Search will rapidly find references to family names or places,
with advanced search options available on the main Search
page, however it doesn't search our Malhamdale
People Finder database or the Forum,
so these need to be searched separately.
New
pages and more information are being added frequently, so
remember to check the What's
New page or subscribe to our RSS feed.
If
you have any queries or comments visit our Forum
and leave us a message.
Wanted
New material
We
are always interested in more Memories, Photographs, Maps,
Deeds, Documents, Family Trees and other items relating to
the area.
Don't worry, you don't have to create the actual
web pages, the webmaster will sort out your text and illustrations
into a web article, so contact mlhgenquiries@gmail.com to
discuss your ideas. We also need more volunteers to transcribe
material to go on the website. If you feel you can help please
get in touch.
