As webmaster of the Extended Craxford Family Genealogy Magazine I can safely say on behalf of my associate editors and myself that we are delighted and honoured to display the graphics shown on this page and are proud of the recognition afforded to the site by the programs which presented them. We also express our thanks and gratitude for the advice and patience which has been forthcoming from the administrators and evaluators of the individual programs during the assessment process. We acknowledge an over-arching principle behind the application for a web award beyond the achievement of a fancy icon. The programs represented all possess strict assessment criteria and fail large numbers of applicants. We do not apply for buddy or reciprocal awards. We are attempting to achieve and maintain the highest levels of quality of web design, content, presentation and accessibility. We are submitting our site to critical and independent peer review in the hope that we can confirm its strengths and good points, unmask its weaknesses and advance our knowledge generally of programming and the advancing needs of the milieu of the internet. - Alan D. Craxford

Family... such a important part of our lives. To search within the heritage of ones past is to find the future of ones journey. From generation to generation such information would be lost if not preserved in such a site as this one. Family Genealogy is more often only of interest only to members of a certain family tree but the Extended Craxford Family Genealogy Magazine web site has developed into a vast resource of information. Visitors not only can take a look at the past but your site provides a visitor with current affairs. Since our panel is made up of young people also it is a encouragement to find such a site that brings interest into their lives. Your site shows a "burning desire" to make a difference. Our panel spent hours within your site leaving....wanting more. This is what makes a site different. When the visitor wants to return. The wealth of information displayed, from the letters, pictures, articles, lead our panel to proclaim that The Extended Craxford Family Website is the finest site that we have ever evaluated within any subject or materials submitted to our program.

Your site is very user friendly and easy to navigate. Let it be known and acknowledged that The Extended Craxford Family Website has been rated the highest point value that we have ever given.

Family Genealogy is more often than not of interest only to members of a specific family but the Extended Craxford Family Genealogy Magazine web site has developed into so much more. Viewers are provided with current affairs including many letters, stories and articles reaching across at least four hundred years culminating in an incredible resource of great historical value of interest to others outside of the inner family circle. Irrespective of the copious amounts of information displayed, the web site is very user friendly and easy to navigate. A most relaxing site visit and one that is certainly worthy of bookmarking. We consider it an honour to award your web site which is an excellent contribution to the W.W.W - O.N.Z.C.D.A Staff.

Thank you so much for your invitation to review your website "The Extended Craxford Family Genealogy Magazine". A Family Genealogy usually is interesting only for members of this family. But yours is more: it is current affairs with many articles, letters and stories from about 400 years. For this reason your website is a great discovery also for visitors even if they do not belong to the family. Despite the incredible wealth of information it is easy to find the way through the site.

For this great achievement and your hard work we consider it an honour to award your site the MOON AWARD in GOLD.
