All the files should be referenced in the various intro pages of the HoareOrigins> site capture. But just in case they are not, for completeness, we provide the links for each file here. The GEDcom files have all been loaded into our Genealogy DB tree at H600 GEN.
This capture of the previous HoareOrigins.co.uk site is an archive of David G. Hoare's site and work before his quick demise. He provided permission before for its permanent archive and availability to the public. He spent the last few months of his life adding linkage into the H600 pages / groups of the time and cleaning up the final files for archival. We greatly appreciate his effort and desire to make this significant body of work available in perpetuity.
Due to a robots.txt file in the home folder, it was never captured on the InternetArchive site. The site was scraped before it disappeared as David was not able to provide the originals nor his internet service account access before he became too ill. The scrape was in a very difficult format not easily recreated. We apologize for any errors and omissions, Especially since not all files could be accessed by the scraping program.
The various file formats, identified by their extensions, are:
.doc, .rtf, .docx | WORD formatted document |
.xlsx | EXCEL formatted spreadsheet |
.jpg | JPEG Image file |
.htm | HTML browser file (like this one) |
.GED | GEDCom genealogical database file |
Some files are read in and displayed by the browser when clicked on. Others will force a download. Often right clicking (or ctrl-click on a macos) will give you an option to save-as / download the file. ".GED" GEDCom files, although text files, are not meant to be directly human readable. They can be loaded into any genealogical tree / DB program like Ancestry.com or simmilar. Or search the internet for a viewer / converter for your platform of choice: windows, macos, etc.
