• StirNET

  The site was originally set up to support research into more general Family & Social History (with the motto & incentive that “Knowledge of the Past helps us understand & value the Present and prepare for the Future.”). However, its founder & proprietor, Peter Barns-Graham, came to realise that he did not have the time, energy or ability to do justice to that ambition and so has pulled back from that in order to focus on supporting simple genealogical research. The site has yet to fully reflect that curtailment of ambition.
