What’s new
Changes and additions to the site, newest first.
Easier to read
Text size buttons (A A A) at the top of every page, larger labels and buttons, a menu bar that stays put, and a short guide to using the site. How to use this site
Send an update
Know of a missing birth, marriage or death, spotted a mistake, or have a family story to share? There is now a simple form for it, and a link at the bottom of every page. Send an update
Photos and People A–Z
Every photo on the site in one place, grouped by family, and an index of every name in the Hudson and Clarke descendant lists. Browse the photos
Journeys: maps and a timeline
How the families reached Australia and New Zealand – the voyages from England, Cornwall, Ireland and Scotland on maps, with a timeline of the main events. All drawn from Russell and Jenny’s pages. Follow the journeys
Interactive family tree
Find a person, then tap through the generations. Built from Russell Hudson’s Hudson and Clarke descendant lists (over 1,100 people). Explore the family tree
Small fixes to the original pages
Three links that never worked on the old site now go to the right pages, and three obvious typing slips were corrected (for example “Navel Base” is now “Naval Base”). Nothing else in Russell and Jenny’s wording has been changed.
A new home for the family history
The pages Russell and Jenny Hudson wrote between 2005 and 2013 have moved from RootsWeb to this site. All of the original text and photos are here, with a search box, easier reading on phones and larger photos. Credits and links
