Torrens Family

In this site you will find Genealogy, Natural history (wild food, pond life, ponds around Cambridge), old photos, walks we have done with our cats, opera libretti and much more, things that don't belong on my technical sites www.4qd.co.uk and www.4qdtec.com. But see also my Forest of Dean site which is closely related to this, but connected with our cottage to let in the Forest of Dean.

Areas of this site include something for nearly everyone. The links at the top of each page go to the major sections but there are often no clear reason why something should be in one section rather than another. so in the Cats section you will find information on walks, scenic photos, plant photos and lots more. Sections include:

• Books
  Various books etc transcribed and re-laid out, mainly in Ovation Pro format.This is a full-featured desktop publishing program the like of which you would normally have to buy for a large amount of money. Fortunately the program, Ovation Pro, is available as a completely free (but time-limited) trial version from David Pilling Software.

  This area also includes the book Dental disease - its chemical causation and cause by R.G.Torrens (my father) which is currently being transcribed and is available as a pdf.
