Comments: I came across your site whilst doing my own family history research. My late mother's family were the McEvoys from Douglas IoM who owned the Kipper factory of the same name in Peel IoM. I was interested to see you outside Moore's factory in Peel in 1953 - the last time I visited the island.
Congratulations on your site - well researched and well presented. MJ

Comments: Good website. Exiled in Australia/NZ for 16 years. We used to live in Craig Cefn Parc in a house called Coedafal. The pictures of CCP brought back many happy memories, and our last summer there with the sound of the cuckoo in the valley beneath us. Pictures of Gower always appreciated.

Comments: I am interested in finding out more about Wales. I am of welsh discent as my great grandmother was born in Cardiff. I met a wonderful woman in Toronto and found out that she was born in Neath. I am interested in the people, family heritage and the pictures on Wales. I have never been to Wales but I hope in the future I can make a trip there just to see the scenery and my heritage.

Comments: Really great site, as for its content. About the techniques, I would suggest to change the menu structure in order to make them easier to navigate, server side scripting would help a lot. You can also remove entirely e-mail addresses, and replace them with server side scripting that would convert form inputs into e-mail messages. Just 2 thought to make greater your contribution to the www!
Cheers!

Comments: Greetings from Chicago!
I was searching the web trying to help my 13-year-old son with his homework (he is required to do a project on Wales). I stumbled across your website and I am quite impressed! All the pictures made me smile! You certainly put a great deal of time, effort, and love into your site. We both found it very interesting (and I anxiously await your Christmas pudding recipe to appear in November!)
All the best from the U.S.!

Comments: Just did the tour of Ellan Vannin Veg Veen - the dear little Isle of Man. Thanks for the trip John, it was great, the photography stunning. It's a must see place on our list because of Green family connections there in the 1800's, re their education which led to impressive military careers. Can't wait to check on the rest of the island as you know it. Thanks, sincerely, Reginald & Mavis Green.

Thank you very much for the time and effort which goes into the production and maintenance of the whole site. I am now anxiously awaiting the arrival of the February batch of 'Images of Wales'.
NOTE: My recent three-week absence from updating my website has delayed the scheduling of the next new set of Images of Wales photographs until the first week of March. — John Ball (28 Feb 2004)
