Ian's UK Website

The majority of my website is for my family tree research and findings.

I am researching my Hedges, Moulden, Milton, Cakebread and other branches.

I have created a UK based website to redirect to my main website.

My Family Tree News

12 Aug 08 Family tree success - Henry Hedges from Failure is the key to success I had an email when I got back from holiday that hopefully will allow my brick wall to crumble. I have written about it on my family tree blog - My Brick Wall is crumbling .
07 Jul 08 Revamping a website and preventing hot-linking from Failure is the key to success It's been a long time coming and at the end of last week I finally got around to revamping my family tree website. It used to be static pages that I hand-coded and hadn't been updated for months. I have now converted it to a Wordpress blog (just like this one), which means I can add entries there when I'm researching one branch or other of the family tree. In addition to re-launching this site, I had to add code on all my sites this morning when I found a Russian site that had basically taken and translated every post on my blog into Russian and was presenting it complete with all my (hotlinked) images and style sheet. I have now added code in my sites' .htaccess file preventing hotlinking of images and my stylesheets from other sites. I checked David Airey's blog post How to stop image hotlinking and bandwidth theft before adding the code. RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([a-z\.\-]+)?ianhedges.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([a-z\.\-]+)?ijhedges.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([a-z\.\-]+)?ijhedges.co.uk/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([a-z\.\-]+)?cre8Buzz.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteRule .(gif|jpg|png|css)$ - [F] I've allowed cre8Buzz, as I hotlink my profile images from my gallery.
23 Dec 07 Re-attached a branch of the family tree from Failure is the key to success Lyall rang from New Zealand this morning to wish us Merry Christmas. While we were talking, he mentioned that there was someone on Genesreunited who had listed my greatgrandmother with the correct location and dates. I contacted them this morning and have had an email back and access to her tree. She is my second cousin on a branch of the family that everyone had lost contact with. So at the moment I'm all of a twitter having just added several new members of the family. All in all a great Christmas present.
