passing through site
« on: Sunday 14 December 08 19:57 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,
those of you who have used passingthrough.wetpaint.com might want to know that the website is closing down - I am waiting for wetpaint to delete the site, but I am not sure when exactly it will occur.

I would like to make it clear, that contrary to what some people have said, this is not because I have been "got at" or that there has been a vendetta against the site, it is because of a few people who are continually complaining and being horrible about others. I have put up with it for several months, but find I am so irritated by it now, that I no longer want to maintain the site.

I wish all the people who have used it good luck with their research.

Best wishes
Jackie Blackman

Jackie,

l am saddened that you are closing down your web site, l found a few of my rellies the "Gentle" family there. You gave me an insight into my ancestors and their lives for which l am thankful. 
l agree with nelwild to few sites devoted to Romany Ancestry research.

Best wishes for the future

Hi Jackie,

I too am really saddened by the fact that due to a few nasty people you have felt the need to close the site down. I've found out so much about my tree from your invaluable records, I just want to say thank you thank you so much for providing such a brilliant site and how much I will miss it.

Best wishes for the future.
