Our primary focus for the Families Database is on getting the family connections right and so we place less emphasis on dates than many other database compilers do We are trying to make our database as accurate, reliable & secure as is reasonably possible but we know that complete reliability is simply not possible We deal with this problem, and draw your attention to it, as well as we can, often showing insecure data in italics It will take years to develop but that is surely understandable for its scope is huge and it will not be easy either to cover all of the topics we think need to be covered or to pull them together in a logical & interesting way With only a few exceptions, we include only British families & their ancestors and we do not come more forward in time than generations where the eldest was born by 1800
