NOTICES: February 2013

This site is designed for best viewing in Internet Explorer at 800 x 600 resolution.
 
Following recently reported problems accessing some of the files linked from within the site's pages mainly the Ancestors A-Z and
the Data-files Index but also other random links from within Smith List :
All appended files now moved from the old external file-host, to our own newly acquired "smithprojectfiles.org.uk" domain & web server.
 Thank you to those who reported the faults - the affected hyperlinks now updated.

Courtesy of YouTube channel jessynichols297, this video is a lovely celebration of
our North-West and L.S.Lowry's work. Featuring some of Lowry's "Matchstalk Men"
paintings and the 1978 hit single by Manchester-born duo, Michael Colman & Brian Burke, who were inspired by Lowry's work.

There are only two
 
lasting bequests

we can give

our children,
 
one is roots;

the other, wings.
