Records update

Continuing my work on the Ellis Island ship manifests I've updated the names list with 48 new records, giving a grand total of 124 so far. The latest version of the file can be found in the Ellis Island page!

Site update

I've decided to create an image to use as the header of this blog. The background of it is a part of Jan Jansson's 1659 map of Provincia Ultonia, the province of Ulster. I've also added the Irish (or rather Ulster to be precise) Coat of Arms of the Richardson family.

Along with that I've also changed the background and navigation bar from the drab greys that they where to something more genealogical in appearance - shades of brown.

Nothing too fancy, but I think it looks the bit for the time being!
