Familypedia
Wiki

This is a modern version of the Celtic Knot, thought by some to be representative of the interweaving of marriage relationships and the Celtic idea of peacemaking through kin exchange.

Welcome to the help desk. This is a place to get help from other members of Familypedia's community, about how the wiki works or where something is, or even a "lookup" or "brick wall" request, if there's no other forum or talk page that seems right for it.

To add a new topic, please type a meaningful title in the box below (noting that "I have a problem", etc, is NOT meaningful here) and click "add new topic". Categories can be added to a forum page in the normal way, and will list first if typed right at the top in a separate line.
