Mark I now know what you are saying and that is you thought I was Caroline.

Well how would I suppose to know that ?  :-\ 

So all was needed for you to say you mistook me Carolyn for Caroline and if you had pointed that fact out I would have had another view on the whole thing.

Anyway mistakes are made, so lets let it be !.  8)

So I will take this opportunity to wish you and yours a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year !

I do apologise also for not saying that sooner, I thought I had. Let us move forward from here?
Merry Christmas to you also :)

Hi Mark

Just want to point out that we are in fact two different people!  I am CAROLINE (Cazza59) with the Manchester  United photo. I live in Queensland, Australia that "spoke" to you originally and requested the better scans, which you then said you would be able to get.

CAROLYN (Saddles) is the person that later posted and removed her work.  Carolyn lives in Western Australia, which accounts for why we often post around the same.

We have been confused in the past, so all in all, an honest mistake to make on your part, particularly being new to the board.   I guess from now on to avoid further confusion, I will sign off as Caz.

Anyway, I look forward as per my original posting and your response in saying that you would be posting better scans as soon as you have seen your Dad.  ;)

Cheers
Caroline AKA Caz   :) :) :)

PS  My daughter uses "ha ha"  all the time to let me know she's having a joke!  ;)

Very confused by it all, I write haha instead of lol coz it's very over used by all these "kewl kidz" who must take every possible great thing in this world and use it and use it until it's lost all meaning. So is there a way to block on this site? I don't have time for arguments and I shouldn't have to explain myself to anyone, should be as simple as if I like something, I like it. If I don't, then I don't. simple. Right?

Mark,

People put a lot of time and effort in to restoring a treasured picture for someone.  In can take many hours in some cases to repair or enhance a picture.  The end result is usually dependent on the quality of the scan and the damage to the picture.  Sometimes when I post a restored picture I am happy with the result and at other times, not so happy.  It Is great to hear from the poster when they are pleased with the picture as it makes it all worthwhile.  You post says if "If you don't like it, then you don't.  Simple.  Right."

May I suggest that if you don't like it, then it is better to keep it to yourself, rather than hurt someones feelings who has gone to a lot of time and effort for you.

Having also had a go at your picture, the comment which you made (in bold above) has certainly put me off posting it.



Steve

Steve,

I never said I didn't like that restoration work. I simply thought that Carolyn was the same person as Caz, which I was mistaken. hence why I wrote "you must be bored haha" misunderstanding on both parts.

The statement you have made bold wouldn't be directed at anyone specifically.
I do however think that reworking the face to a different person (or drawing it on) is not work that I can relate to.... That person is not the same person anymore.

I see. Certainly not the case, Carolyn said that the images were too small to really get a good result so I didn't think it would pop up for me to see. perhaps if I didn't write "haha" which these days feels as useful in messages as "lol" for me, even though others such as Carolyn would not know that. I do appreciate the effort put in even though my ignorance I guess you call it thought that it would be an easy thing to fix.
I honestly had no idea the effort or time included to do this sort of restore as I haven't kept up with computer programs, hence the title. Knowing now that it is photoshop or gimp, I can understand how Carolyn would feel about my last post to her.
Also as I've said thank you to her before, twice I'm sure (unless it was two users with the same name?) I really felt that if I kept saying it over and over it wouldn't seem a genuine thank you over time but a simple copy paste sort of thing.

I am actually really blown away from the community here on RootsChat it's really made me feel like a somebody when I can relate a genealogy topic with another individual and not be told I'm wasting my time in the past when I should be in the "now". I get carried away with this aspect of my life, you know? :)

anyways, Merry Christmas and God bless.
Mark.

Hi......You seem an ungreatfull sort so I have removed my effort.

Carolyn  >:(

Not at all! I was actually wondering how you did it?  ??? Considering I didn't even know creases could be taken out of photos until the other day. Faces didn't even enter my mind like that, so I was curious how it was done...

Cork / Re: Byrne/s Burns of High Street, Cork 1911

Thanks Dathai,  I have actually purchased a few certs for any Hannah Burns/Byrnes including that marriage cert. and spent hours in the library going through all the voting registers for years 1920 to 1940 and found her in most years up to 1937 so presume she died after that and before 1940.  I know where most of the family members are buried and have found the headstone but no luck for Hannah or Kate.  I think it is a hard one to find her burial place.   Basically I was trying to find out what happened to Hannah and the two spinster sisters.

Thanks for your help. 
  To MB family, without a Christian name or an idea of the area in Cork that your Byrne ancestor came from it will be almost impossible for you to find what you are looking for. Sorry

Yep it is her Christian name.

Bridget Byrne born about 1772 in Trim, married Morgan Power in Toongabbie N.S.W.  :)
