Introduction to the "F S" Catalogue
The
"F. S." project is a subset of the
Genealogy in Hertfordshire
Web Site, which is itself one of a number of community sites in
the HertsWeb
Community Network. It is run by the "resident genealogist" Chris
Reynolds and important updates are reported on the blog
Hertfordshire
Genealogy News. The site is free and non-commercial
and is, in effect an educational wiki type site. However if you find the
site helpful, or use material from it, you are invited to
make a
donation
to help the
Herts Mind
Network support the mentally ill people of Hertfordshire, in
memory of my daughters
Lucy and
Belinda.

Under Development
This project started as my working files, and covers not only the main stream research into the Crown Publishing Co of St Albans, but also the various incidental detours and false leads. At present work is underway converting my original notes to provide a catalogue of the work of Fred Spurgin up to 1911, when he started publishing large numbers of signed comic cards. Pages which have been converted to form part of the catalogue will have a heading with a blue background, such as this page, while pages with an uncoloured heading are part of my unedited original notes (or are still mainly in draft form). Progress in the development work, and the latest updates of new material, will be recorded on "F S News"
Navigation
A normal page on this web site should have a scrolling
menu on the left, and the main display area should have one or more
buttons in the top right hand corner.
will take you back to the main entry page for the whole web site while
the other buttons (for instance "F S" on this page) will take you to the
local master page for the topic illustrated by the button, together with
the appropriate menu. Under some conditions (such as when you
enter the site from a browser such as Google) the menu will be missing.
In such cases re-enter the site using one of the buttons in the top
right hand corner.
Larger Images
If a picture has a blue border clicking on it will either provide more information or a bigger picture. If you make use of any of the larger images you should acknowledge the source (The Genealogy in Hertfordshire web site) and you should also consider saying "Thank You" by making a donation to the site's nominated charity.
Contact - Improving the Site
Over
the years the Genealogy in Hertfordshire site has grown through the interaction
with the visitors who have asked questions and made comments. This catalogue of "F S" postcards (effectively
anything before the First World War not signed by "F Spurgin") could be even
more useful if you can help to fill in the gaps. Please direct any new
information, corrections, or other comments to me at
chris@hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk. and it would help if you could include
"F S" in the message title. Thumb sized images arew welcome to help
fill gaps and should be 250 pixels
wide (or high) - and information about the back
could be vital in helping dating and a higher
resolution image may help identift small print, etc..
