There are quite a lot of people who have come view my site as an
invaluable genealogy resource for North West Hampshire. What started
of as just a personal family history site has expanded quite a lot. I
could really use the services of a part time secretary just inputting
data from files I am sent. My wife is far too busy working on her own
database to have time to help me.

It doesn't help that our cat has decided that sprawling out on my
desk just in front to the keyboard is the best way to get me to pay
attention to her

No problem

It did have one good effect in that it made me think about the future
and what would happen to the data when I am not around. At least with
it now hosted on a commercial site it will be easier to pass it on as
a 'going concern'
