My interest in family history came through my father John Stanley Howard Vine, who had a collection of information and photos that he had spent many years collecting and collating. I offered to type up his research and, as a result, became hooked. One of the most interesting (to me) items he had collected was a transcription of a diary written in the early 1800's. It was full of names and dates and started me on a quest to prove or disprove the information. This quest will last many years! Once I had typed this up I started researching my mother's side of the family and found that one of her cousins (Ann McKay) had already done years of work and generously sent me the information she had collected. A great start. Over the last four years I have made contact with some wonderful cousins from all over the world and have even met with one or two of them.

My aim is to gradually build this web site, learning as I go along! If you have any ideas how I can improve this site, please send me an email.

In my research, I have had a lot of help from many people - thanks very much to all of them especially:
