General Chat

Found the people there very helpfull. That makes me respond in kind and I have been able to help out a few times. You will find me in the W. Yorks section most of the time. P.S. If you have an old photo that needs attention have a look at the photo restoration section. Dave the tyke

Selena - I just said hello to you in your thread in there ... :-) Please do not worry - there is room on the internet for lots of family history sites.

He just got back to me. My mother was born in City Lodge Public Assistance Institution. How do I tell the family???? I really have opened up a can of worms here!

I can never get on with firefox. Think that one is a paying site now anyway.

Just had a reply on Rootsweb. He lives round the corner from where my mum was born and as its stopped raining, he's going to pop round and have a look for me. I never even thought the place would still be there. Got to make a cup of tea I think.

I have been subscribed on it for some years but only just realised that there is a chat room ... :-)

I bounce between the two! With Firefox you can have as many tabs open as you want. Means I spend my time running round like a headless chicken - just like in real life!

I have never posted on there but quite often go into the chat and ask for help and it seems to be given straight away. Saves hanging around like the threads on here if yo are desperate to find something LOL But I am grateful to the people on here for their time and effort.

I'm going to have a look it looks good, Cazxxx

I haven't posted on it but I have read some of what is on there. Some of it, I suspect I have seen written elsewhere ............. overall a very good site though.

I will look out for you. Glad you are in. The surname interest table takes a bit of finding but there is a link at the bottom of the home page. Anne

Glad yr in Selina. Ive joined as im so stuck on my Irish side, im hoping this site will help me.

You didn't send it to the dot-co-dot-uk instead of the dotcom (or other awy round) did you. I know someone that did that for ages . *wanders off whistling*

My email was in my junk mail in seconds..........there is a bit that asks if you missed your activation email at top left side.

I'm impressed with rootschat! Joined about an hour ago and posted a question . Quite a few lookers and an answer! Now bouncing between the two to try and keep up! :)

My registration email came though almost straight away, literally ! I went to my inbox and it was there.

I use the site but be warned that your personal profile and postings will show up with a google search of your screen name so don't give away too much personal information. The county boards are very good for links and they notify you if someone has replied to one of your threads which is very useful. I left messages on the Australian and New Zealand board about some relatives who had emigrated and someone looked up all their children's baptisms for me that night. The surname interest table is very user friendly as well. I Anne

Havent actually posted anything yet, but I read the stuff a lot its very interesting Barbara..xx

Yes … :-) And it was in rootschat that someone saw my post about my great-great-uncle William McCusker, remembered it years later when he saw his birth registration and contacted me about it. So that is one reason why I do not delete posts /threads.

SEE I KNEW I HAD SEEN IT ON HERE lol
