We've added some advertising to the website in the hope to cover some of the costs of our hosting etc. We trust it will not effect your browsing experience and if it does we do apologize!
Please let us know if it does effect the overall experience of the website, we would like to hear from you.
Thank you.
We've just updated the Family Tree database to 3 APRIL 2013!
We've just updated the Family Tree database to 10 FEBRUARY 2013! Our first update for 2013!
We've integrated Facebook Commenting on the website so from this post onwards all commenting will be facebook integrated.
This move to use Facebook Comments instead of the website's build-in commenting system is to make the website more sociable and friendly. We hope everyone agrees with this :)
A recent blog post from Darren Rowes shed the light on what makes a blog/news website great and what people look for when they get to your website.
An excerpt from that post:
7 Questions People Ask When They Arrive on your Blog for the First Time
We've seen some SPAM hit our website in recent times (even this morning) which has forced us to tighten security on martensfamily.co.za. We've employed a brilliant service called Mollom which is a prominent spam counter-measure!
It is being used by the likes of Twitter, The Economist, Thomson Reuters, Symantec, Sony, MIT and Stanford University amongst others.
As you can see, we've made some changes to the existing menu structure on the right-hand side to accommodate for more information.
We've also added parts of the dairy entries of Anna Katherina Martens(Shroenn) that we received from Andrew Harty. Thank you Andrew! We've also added a link to a .pdf of a newspaper clipping of the "The Martens of Doornhoek" article also from Andrew.
We love hearing from all of you and sharing in the history of your family so please let those stories and info continue to come in!
We've added a new Gallery feature where you can easily view photos of other families from the Martens-clan and also post your own family photos! We're still busy working on making the gallery display more beautifully but it's fully operational now!
We're looking forward to seeing all the faces from the Martens-clan.
Martensfamily.co.za website is a Responsive HTML 5 website which means that it scales according to your screensize!
The Family Tree database has been updated! If you still see the family tree dated "31 March 2012", you need to clear your browser data under Tools in your Webbrowser of choice.
We welcome all feedback and expecially information that can go on to the Martens family tree database.
