Fry Family Genealogy Wiki

Today I've launched the beta version of the Fry Family Genealogy Wiki. The Wiki is the first part of a new portal system I'm currently developing codenamed Project FryGen.

Project FryGen was conceived from weaknesses I've experienced whilst carrying out my own family history research. Many one-name family history resources suffer because they are often fragmented, do not benefit from modern software solutions and don't have the backing of expert web developers and web servers. In a lot of cases they are expanded personal projects containing an amazing amount of valuable data which is difficult to navigate and search and therefore of reduced value than otherwise would be the case if the same data was available through a better interface.

The Fry Family Genealogy Wiki is a central collaborative database of information provided and edited by researchers who are also involved in Fry family research; people just like you and me.

This wiki is very flexible and allows information on just about any relevant subject to be entered and categorised in minutes. That information becomes immediately searchable by other researchers both through this wiki and through most major search engines such as Google.

The wiki will remain in beta for the next 60 days while I tweak the settings and address any support issues.

I'd therefore like to invite anybody who is carrying out Fry research to join me on the wiki and help build an invaluable family history research resource for the benefit of all.

MISSING: Madeleine McCann

Madeleine McCann was born 4 years ago. She has one brother Sean and a sister Amelie. She lives with her family in Rothley, Leicestershire.

Her father comes from Glasgow and has 3 sisters, Patricia, Jacqueline and Phil, and a brother John. Madeleine's Grandmother, Eileen lives in Glasgow. Her other grandparents, Sue and Brian live in Liverpool.

Both sides of the family are very close and all are working in different ways to try and help in the search for Madeleine.

Phil, who resides in Ullapool and is a teacher, has asked that the heartfelt thanks of the whole family be passed to everyone who has helped in the search so far. She said "There have been so many messages of support and prayers from people all over the world. We (the family) are overwhelmed with your assistance. The media people have been wonderful and so helpful in making everyone aware of our plight. Madeleine’s family are so grateful to you all. Please keep Madeleine in your thoughts and prayers. We pray that she will be returned to us safe and well."

Scallywag Porscha Fry

>> Listen to this Article or Add to Podcast

Another sad announcement I'm afraid. Our amazing white Persian cat 'Scallywag' Porscha has died this morning (Wednesday) after a short illness.


Porscha was truly amazing and not only to look at. She had a fantastic personality, loving nature and remarkable human traits. Mum says that Porscha was the best alarm clock and bed warmer anybody could wish for. Mum should know, Porscha spent more time in mum's bed than she did!


Porscha was due to celebrate her 13th birthday next month but didn't quite make it. We thought she would live forever, well that was the hope anyway but it wasn't to be.


Porscha is now resting in one of her favourite places in the garden, next to the catnip plant, close to her great uncle 'Scallywag' Tuppence Halfpenny (Tuppie for short) who died thirteen years ago on his fourteenth birthday.


Porscha is survived by her sister 'Scallywag' Sophie who must be missing Porscha like crazy, but rest assured she's been well looked after.


Sophie, the poor dear, isn't quite all there in the head department. She was the runt of the litter and had to be hand reared and even though she's nearly thirteen still needs hand feeding and acts like a kitten most of the time.

Porscha is sadly missed but will never be forgotten.
