When I started the site, I thought it would be a great idea to start a Family Newsletter. I'd really like to be able to issue a quarterly newsletter, but given the volume of information necessary to make that remotely interesting I thought I'd start out with an annual newsletter.

The newsletter is to be targeted at descendants of David Hardie of Markel Mains, and hopefully will include family news and welcome new members to the clan. The longer term goal is to host a family reunion.

The first step is getting interested family members to subscribe and provide information on the happenings in their family. What I can promise you is that I will not share your email addresses with anyone, and will only use them to forward the newsletter or information about any Family Reunion.

So how can you get involved
