We are pleased to say that RootsChat will be attending our first "Who Do You Think You Are Live (http://www.whodoyouthinkyouarelive.com/)" exhibition. ;D :D ;D
The event held in London is advertised as the World's Biggest Family History event held over three days.
If you are attending it will be really nice to meet you in the flesh so please find us and say hello ;) We'll be on Stand 402.

Hi Trystan,
Without a doubt my favourite search posting, from August 2007 inolving "Gadget" and "mongoose2"
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,248565.20.html .
Started about a query of family born in Edinburgh, of a Sergeant George Gardiner in 1851. The topic followed this George Gardiner, who acted his old rank of RSM in the "Charge of the Light Brigade", (having been promoted a month earlier to Coronet and Adjutant, but as his replacement was not available), he stood into his old boots, as it were, and followed the charge as the RSM was supposed to do.
He came through the Crimean physically unscathed and became Governor of Northallerton Prison for some 30 years. What a find that was for "mongoose2", who ended up with photographs, news clippings and book extracts all about her relative.

Not only have I checked out the workshop schedule, I'm part of it :)
It's a pretty good programme this year, too. Of course, the ones you most want to hear will always be on the same time...

Is there a list/programme somewhere we can find on the net of what's on, on the three days, so that those of us who live too far away, and are broke, can at least see what we are missing ??

Hi Sarah,
I've been absent from Rootschat for some time (long and boring story), but I'm now back at the family history research and will be going to WDYTYA? Live for the first time. I've made a note of your stand number, and I'll pop by to say hello.
:)
