The FIG Tree News is a newsletter for genealogy researchers of the Fenton family name from all over the world. The newsletter was started in February 1994, but was suspended in July of 2000 due to a busy life with two teenagers. Now that they have both graduated, I am hoping to be able to spend more time on the website (thus the new look website).
Due to this change in software it will allow us to be more flexible and allows users to have more input directly on the website. I believe this is a great step and no researcher can truely work only on their own. We all need help from someone at one time or another. I hope that every user will be willing to share their information so this site can be more of what it was intended (a site for genealogy researchers of the Fenton family from all over the world and not just North America).
If you want to become a Registered User, you must send me an e-mail to let me know so I can mannually validate your account. We currently get between 5-15 requests each day from spammers wanting access to the site. The default setting for a new user is Public, which will not give you access to the best portions of the site.

I have had a few questions recently about not being to have access to the forums or the guestbook. Due to the many SPAMMERS out that are out there I must require registration for all users of the website. If I didn't have those restrictions, then there would be all sorts of posts concerning sexual related websites, pharmaceuticals, and many other things that I wouldn't want to see there. As it is, I still get a lot of accounts created for that purpose, but those accounts are quickly deleted. With new tools available from the website update, all new users are considered unconfirmed until they ask me personally to verify their account. You will not get access until I have heard directly from you. You can contact us by using the Contact Us link here or at the top of the site near About Us.

We have recently had some updates to the website and we are looking to do a few more things in the near future.
First of all, we have corrected the problem with logins and everyone should be able to login now. Keep in mind that if you are a new user, you must go through a specific process to get to a Registered User, Click on this link to find out more.
Second, Registered Users (once you login), can now see what Fenton lines a user might be researching. To do this, you must login. If you have logged in, then click on the Registered Users link on the Main Menu. Once you are there, select a User's Name. If a user has provided that information, then there is a link called "Other Information". Click on that and you will get a brief note on the Fenton line they are interested in. If information is not there, the user has not provided it.
