Wiltshire / My Hannah
« on: Monday 05 October 09 13:40 BST (UK)  »
Help please if possible,

I have Hannah Dickenson marrying a John Jobbins 25/9/1792 in Sherston Magna,
I would like to find out who Hannah's parents were, as I feel it must be my Hannah, but want to be 100 percent sure.
I would be grateful for any input.

Thanks Sue

The Common Room / Re: "What makes these people tick" EGO?

Hi everyone

I would just like to clarify my position on this,  I was on ancestry to make connections, my tree was NOT on it, in fact my tree is in GR,

I don't recall any queries from this person RE my tree, and I would have remembered as I normally make sure there is a connection, so how they came to have it is a mystery to my mentality,

As for being a bit angry about it you bet I was, as I did email the person concerned, and received no reply,   

regards Sue

Hi Everyone
Well after reading all the posts I must say I am really embarrassed I actually brought it up, :-[ :-[ :-[

I don't consider myself some sort of Diva who and I certainly so share my information quite willingly, and I also have made some wonderful contacts through distant relatives,

Maybe its time for me to come out of my dusty cobweb room, surrounded by ghost's of the past in the form of certificates etc,

In finishing I must say nice to have a healthy discussion with Rootschatters and being a newbie, advice will be taken on board

Thankyou  Sue :)

Hello Everyone :(

Nice to read all the different points of view to my post,  and maybe I am being a little to sensitvie,  but researching is certainly different in my book to copying a whole bunch of names and sticking the lot in your tree,

Of course as we all research we come across ancestors that are ours in other trees,  the difference being you check and recheck data,

While I realize that I don't own my ancestors, the absolute gall of some people make my blood boil, yesterday while doing a search on ancestry I came across my grandmother on someone else's tree,  (she passed away two years ago)

On checking this tree closer my whole line back from her was on it,  This person I worked out was something like a step 16th cousin twice removed, (am exaggerating slightly)

why would he bother with putting my ancestors on this tree, certainly it wasn't relevant to his research,

So I ask the question is it ego or what?

Sue ???

Hi rosemary

Don't know about anyone else, but it certainly is,  Both my parents are Irish, and my 2 sister's and I  have Irish lilts, but my 2 brothers speak with Aussie accents, and we have been out here for Donkeys years

Hi all

I ordered three last august, waited  two weeks to contact them after their said date of dispatch, So I emailed them, they were very quick to answer and posted out another three, took about a week to arrive, all in separate envelopes,

Yesterday received the original one dated august, so not bad 4 months late,
Wonder where it went :( :( gremlins maybe)
