HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

I visited Banongill at the end of the season when little was in flower.....
Now Mrs. Philip Russell, known as Cissie Russell, was a great gardener and a friend of Alister. She had lived at Mawallok so was a close neighbour and friend of the Fairbairns. Alister had wanted to name a rose for her and she had expressed a strong preference for a dark red. She died in 1927, the year the rose was released, and Alister visited her, so the story goes, a couple of days before her death and told her about the rose he was naming for her. It is a charming story – perhaps no more than that. Certainly not admissable as evidence in a court of law. But if it is true, what more probable than that Cissie Russell's friends, the Fairbairns, should plant it in their new rose garden!
