Welcome to Nick Hildick-Smiths' web site. I hope you enjoy your visit to what is my first attempt at putting some personal stuff out there in cyberland! The site itself was a Christmas pressie from my sister Jackie so its all very experimental as I have no prior experience of such things so you will have to forgive me if its a bit rough around the edges to start with.

We have now returned from a fabulous trip to Egypt, one week cruising from Luxor to Aswan and back and a week at the Mercure in Luxor. It really was an excellent fortnight and we loved every minute of it! Videos are under construction and will be available soon!!! Kath took over 200 pictures and I have some 3 hours of tape to get through.

 

The site will be primarily a genealogy site and contain  much family information, which will include pictures, a family history document and names lists and trees of past family members. The pictures will primarily be family orientated but will also contain snaps of house, garden, friends, and holidays.

This is a photo of all the family at sister Jackies wedding in Bude.

The video clips will be of much the same content and most will be downloadable although at present the clips I have are much too big to download so I will be working to edit them down to a much more manageable size in the near future.

Now I am retired I have been filling some spare time with research into the family history which has been done mostly on-line and has many gaps still to be filled.  The family history pages will contain much of the work I have so far done on the history of the Hildick-Smith family and will eventually include family trees, vintage photographs and much text concerning the research I am currently undertaking.

The contacts page has details of how to reach us and links to all sorts of other interesting and useful sites. I would love to hear from anybody who has any comments or can perhaps add to the family details, and in return I will be only too happy to share the wealth of detail I have already unearthed.

This link is to a Site which lists names of other genealogical sites. Please use it if you can.
