This place is for Hogarths and variants of the name, all over the world, to drop by and meet, learn about other Hogarths and put their own pieces into the huge Jigsaw Puzzle that is our Hogarth family history. ![]() If you're researching your Family Tree, you just might find the missing piece of your puzzle among the pieces reposited here by other visitors. |

There will actually be a number of significant changes during the coming year, because the company I work for was taken over and the new one doesn't need two Head Offices. Thus, from mid-March I shall be out of a job. Apart from the small matter of abject poverty, it's not an entirely bad thing, as the aforementioned health problems were making life difficult enough for me to consider taking early retirement anyway.
On the 'plus' side, once I've done the housework and satisfied the constant and unreasonable demands of the dog, I'll then get to play on the computer all I want. Top of the list is mending duff links and stuff that no longer works -- you may not have noticed yet, but on Jan 1st our mapping tool went the way of the pear, so I'll soon be seeking an alternative to that as well. Then there's the vast backlog of submissions and unanswered messages I wake up screaming about...
In the interim, I've just rebuilt the guestbooks for the next six months and will continue to potter around the place with my oil-can on a daily basis until I'm finally freed from the inconvenience of work. Stay chooned.

The traditional half-yearly rebuilding of the Guestbooks has now been completed.

I've now set up the guestbook for 2009, so we're just waiting for our newest visitor to be the first to sign in this year and tell us which tree they've dropped out of. Work on other stuff here will re-commence once several flat-pack wardrobe doors have finally been assembled and hung - thus affording me a temporarily quieter life. I suppose it is about time, as it had been pointed out that they may soon have antique value otherwise.

There's tons more stuff to add. However, spare time has in short supply recently, due to health problems and a series of other life-changing events which seem to come thick and fast over the past year. Not the least of these events was my partner, Nita, moving from Pembrokeshire to live with me, in September. This what a Nita looks like [

By way of a peace-offering, I've just added the 1860 Death Cert of William Hoggarth of
Littlebeck fame, that was kindly sent to us by Angela Hoggarth. As you might imagine, there's also a ton of other stuff waiting (including more obfuscating), but I will tackle it eventually - honest!
On behalf of the editor of
The Baronage Press who has contributed 'The Hogarths of Berwickshire' and other very valuable material to this site, we request any information regarding the ancestors of the artist William Hogarth. Please drop me a line if you are able to provide any details, however small, on William Hogarth's forbears and thus help us bridge a gap in history. Even the tiniest of clues may help! |
