PFA Clothing Orders

We are now able to take orders for a PFA fleece and a PFA polo-shirt. Both are tastefully embroidered with the PFA logo.

To find out more or to order, please approach your country rep (if outside the UK), or email me at pomeroyATone-name.org (replacing AT with the usual sign).

Annie Pomeroy’s Geocities website has relocated!

Annie’s website is now at: http://sites.google.com/site/pomeroytwig/

It contains lots of details Annie has pieced together about different Pomeroy families in Cornwall, Devon and Ireland.

PFA Branded Clothing

The PFA Committee have agreed to explore the viability of launching a small range of PFA branded leisure wear. All members will shortly receive an email from Chris Pomery asking for an indication of order levels. Look out for this email and please reply even if you are not interested. In this way we can gauge the level of support which will dictate whether or not we proceed.

Many thanks

How to post on this blog

There are only two things you need to know to post on this blog:

(1) You need to register the first time you want to post, and to log in if you want later to post or to comment on another post. (This requirement is to stop idiots with nothing better to do posting unwanted ads for all sorts of dubious products).

(2) If you read something in a post and you want to comment on it, add your comment directly to that entry. If you want to say something fresh yourself,  create your own post as a new topic. As editor I am able to edit posts & comments, and to label posts with the correct folders; the only thing the system does not let me do is shift a comment attached to one post to another post, so please always attach your comment to the post you are actually replying to!

And that’s about it. I will be feeding the blog more during the year, and by the year-end it should have a plump body of interesting items on it.

Best wishes to all,

Chris

Online map showing our trees

I’ve uploaded a map which shows the geographical origin of the family trees we’re researching. These are colour-coded by DNA result; each of the five bright colours represents a genetic family, i.e. these trees have ben found to have the same common Pomeroy ancestor. The grey ones have unique DNA results within the project, the white ones have yet to be tested.

The map is at: www.click2map.com/maps/PFA/PFA1

I will over time add more details to each tree.

Best to all,

Chris

Opening Comments from the Administrator

This blog is our new forum for me to present our project’s findings, and for you, our researchers and family members, to describe what you’ve found, ask questions of each other, and ask questions of me. This is a genuinely interactive space and I look forward to working together with you to use its full potential.

Our old website and guestbook, hosted by Rootsweb, is no longer able to support our needs. The guestbook specifically was plagued regularly by spam posts which Rootsweb seemed unable to prevent.  Our new website, though leaner and simpler, nonetheless contains updated news about our project. To make that updating process easier, in future most of the research “news” will be detailed in the Annual Report to PFA members and a summary only will be placed on the website. This will, I hope, encourage active researchers to join the PFA, even if only for a year or two, and support the project financially. As previously, I will always respond to any family  history enquiry that I receive from anyone with an interest in the Pomeroy name, however distant or tangential that interest may be!
