More on Genhound's disappearance

Thanks to Andrew Chapman for the following on the Genhound site's disappearance (see http://britishgenes.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/has-genhound-site-ceased-to-operate.html). He's picked up the following from a cached version of the website as found on the Internet Archive:

Note: Genhound regrets to inform visitors that no new information is currently being added to the Genhound website. As the company owner has moved overseas, it has not been possible to keep the site active. However, the existing information is still available for purchase, and support for customer queries will continue. If you do wish to purchase information, Genhound advises you to purchase the minimum number of credits necessary. Genhound is planning to find a new operator to continue to update the site, or for the database to be transferred to another existing operator. In such a case, it will be ensured that existing credits are honoured or refunded. Please contact Genhound on info@genhound.co.uk if you have any queries.

Has the Genhound site ceased to operate?

A site that I used to plug occasionally seems to no longer be up and running. The Genhound platform at www.genhound.co.uk not only provided access to various useful datasets (including indexes to early sasine registers in Scotland), but also various background articles in its Geneapedia.

The site is currently down, but although the databases cannot be accessed in a cached version of the site from earlier this year, the Geneapedia articles can still be read at https://web.archive.org/web/20150306004815/http://www.genhound.co.uk/genped.php. They include the following topics:

• The British Isles, Great Britain and the United Kingdom
• Counties in the UK
• Counties of the British Isles - an alphabetical list
• History of London growth and administration for genealogists
• Scottish land and property records for family historians
• Scottish deeds and sasines
• Glossary of terms used in Scottish deeds and sasines
• The British Education System

Here's hoping that the site will re-emerge again in due course.

My wife Claire is planning to swim from the Scottish island of Cumbrae to the town of Largs on September 14th to raise money for local charity Gillian's Saltire Appeal, providing respite for families affected by cancer (Claire's mum and sister in Ireland have previously come through cancer, whilst my mum, based in England, currently has bladder cancer). Her Just Giving sponsorship page, with further details, is at http://www.justgiving.com/Claire-Paton1. If you can help to sponsor her, even by a wee amount, we'd be very grateful - many thanks!

We have also added 1939 trade directories for Herefordshire and Shropshire; more trade directories for that year from the Midlands will follow.
