Through this site and our genealogy site, and through the Kent Family History Society Global E-mail group, we have made a great many new and useful contacts. We have also found long-lost relatives in various different parts of the world who we might never have traced without the Internet.
We would like to thank all of the people who have contacted us through this site with information to further our research.
We are also grateful to those of you who have provided us with feedback on problems with links, etc.
Our thanks also go to those of you who have, directly or indirectly, contributed to the content of this site by your suggestions or queries. Special thanks go to:
George Garrity for permission to use the underground photographs of Snowdown Colliery;
David Dixon for the pictures of the coal miners, Wellington Hall, Odeon, Harbour Board tugs and the charabanc trip;
