A Guide to

Old Hertfordshire

This web site contains several thousand "content" pages holding text information and pictures relating to researching family and local history about Hertfordshire. In addition there is the "Guide to Old Hertfordshire" Map, the Newspaper (a separate blog) and a number of indexes, menus,  and link pages to help you find your way around. To help  you find your way around the "content" pages all belong one or more groups, such as "books", "towns and villages" and "census returns" and each group will have a distinctive logo. Some of the more important groups and their logos are shown on the right of this page and clicking on them takes you to the appropriate group.

 

Each of these groups has its own scrolling menu, which should appear on the left of the page, and clicking on any logo (except currently on the Newsletter) will load the appropriate menu and "home" page. The left hand menu will normally have three sections:

 

Top Loads site "Welcome" page.
"Home Menu" Reload the site "Home Menu"

The "content" pages will normally have button boxes at the top of the page which will load the appropriate group page and menu. In the body of the page words in blue, and pictures framed in blue are links to be explored. Where the link is to an external page this will be opened in a new window. If you have a "content" page and no left-hand menu click on any logo on the page.
