Fiske Family Papers
1000 years of Fisks and Fiskes in Britain
I created this website back in 1998 and everything on it has been added by myself and a handful of regular contributors as a labour of love, all hosting costs and subscriptions have come out of my pocket. Due to the current dire financial situation in this country my day job has recently come under threat and I am looking for ways to save money in case the worst happens. In order to help safeguard the future of this website and offer an opportunity for people to contribute to it I have decided to add a Paypal link (below). I will also consider any offers of sponsorship but a profound personal dislike of advertising means I won’t be following the usual route of adding Google Ads or affiliate links to these pages.
Please believe me when I say I have no intention of making this into a subscription site or trying to make a profit, all I am looking for is help with paying the bills associated with it. I will use any donations over and above that to fund subscriptions to other websites which offer research materials that I am currently unable to take advantage of.
Any donation you can make will be most welcome, thanks in advance.
