Do you have pictures or certificates?

Please email us if you want to share any pictures or certificates related to any Maw or descendants of a Maw. This would certainly help other researchers (and us) in their search for information.Thank you.

Sharing Information

Tuesday, 28 July 2009 13:59 administrator

IMPORTANT!

Thank you all for visiting this website, we are pleased that there is such an interest for the Maw family. The visitors numbers are incredibly high for a website that focuses only on one particular family.

On the other hand there are not many people contacting us with demands for corrections or to supply additional information. Can we please ask you once more, if you have any information that is not on this website to share it with us, so that other people can benefit from the research? As usual we will ensure that all facts about living individuals are kept hidden.

I know that many of you are researching other surnames/families besides the Maw's and that in some cases you only have limited information. In most instances you also maintain your own webpages including the Maw's and the rest of your family. However, any fact, picture, story, document about a Maw or a descendant is important to us and the other visitors to this website. We are more than happy to accept Gedcom files, pictures and documents by email as long as you clearly state to whom they exactly refer, we will then make them available to all so that everyone can benefit from the shared research in the same way as you benefit from what is shown on this website today.

Thank you
Johan Lauwens
