Origins focuses on two extended families \u2014 that of my father,\u00a0 <\/span>Sydney Frank Bruce (1899-1970) and that of my mother,\u00a0 <\/span>Hester Spriggs (1905-2004).<\/p>\n Each family has a separate space on the website which I call a \u2018house.\u2019 On the main menu, find House, then choose your house of interest \u2014 Bruce House or Spriggs House.<\/p>\n Each house has its own Archive (images, documents and media), collection of Tales (stories about interesting characters from the family tree) and Cafe (forum), all of which you can access from the Bruce House or Spriggs House menu. You have access to both houses.<\/p>\n Under Development<\/p>\n All the archive material is in image form (.jpg). To download any item, right click on it, choose \u2018save as image\u2019 and navigate to where you want the image on your computer.<\/p>\n To participate in the forum, leave comments or have a My Account (see below) you must register (go to login page) and log in.<\/p>\n Your own My Account page is available to you once you log in. On the My Account page is access to your personal profile for edting and a list of all your posts.<\/p>\n There is no approach. I went where the material drew me, wandering thither and yon through the family tree. Genealogists beware, this serendipitous approach may not work for you<\/p>\n At the end of some Tales you will see the label \u2018Change Maker\u2019 next to the person\u2019s portrait. This is a designation placed by me on those ancestors whom I think made a significant contribution to society.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Focus Origins focuses on two extended families \u2014 that of my father,\u00a0 Sydney Frank Bruce (1899-1970) and that of my mother,\u00a0 Hester Spriggs (1905-2004).
