Harrow Families site launches

Harrow Families (http://www.harrowfamilies.org/) is a new searchable website sponsored by the Harrow Association and is a remarkable and unique online historical archive and a testament to the relationships of over 800 families with Harrow School who have sent their sons to the Hill for several generations and, in some cases, since as far back as the middle of the seventeenth century.
