This website is for all Bearnes, wherever you live! The site’s aim is to provide the basis for a "community of Bearnes". It offers a forum for Bearnes to find out about the origins of their name and a focus for genealogical and historical information. We perceive our purpose as acting as 'web masters', not 'owning' the site and hope very much that other Bearnes will want to contribute information and ideas. During 2006 and 2007, we completely restructured the site. We are now using a modular content management system (Joomla). This allows us to use some powerful tools that help us to present information and images simply and clearly. In particular, we spent a considerable amount of time searching for a genealogical web application that will make the information accessible and provide good privacy controls. We had hoped it would enable other people to add sections to the family tree via the website but so far this has proved problematic and we do not currently have time to resolve all the issues. Many thanks to all those who have sent us contributions for the site over the last ten years; in particular we would like to thank Jon Croot, Roger Beswick and Mike Bearne, all of whom submitted legacy files which we have added recently and to Valerie Bearne who sent us a huge section of the tree to add in. You will find source and credit information for other contributors throughout the site. We hope you will enjoy using Bearne.com and find the content interesting. If you have any comments, please do contact us. Best wishes, Paul Bearne & Gina Dennis If you are a Bearne (or close family member) you may wish to register for your own site account. If you then contact us and let us know something about your interest in Bearne family history, we can unlock the private (family only) areas that may be relevant to you. |
