Suttontrust, I didn't notice that you started this thread in 2004  :-[. !

I agree with Nick, whenever I google anything remotely family history related, even surnames, or places, more often that not rootschat will get numerous hits, and the majority of them towards the top of the list.

Me too - just shows how well some of us read the dates of things! :o :o :o

Anyway, Google is a good comprehensive search engine, and obviously is well tuned in to Rootschat, so that should lead lots of people to us!   ;D

Interesting to see that someone other than the usual suspect(s) has answered an ancient post   :)

Usually (in my experience - sorry C) it's 'Christopher' who digs up, and replies to, ancient posts.  I've been caught out before by this - so much so that I always check the OP date of C's replies.  ::) 
And I'm not the only one who does so  :D

A bit of a trap - but not normally something one would think of checking  :o

Cheers,

JAP

Why a trap?  Sometimes a person responding to an old (not ancient) post is supplying a brand new insight.
Godden in East Sussex, mainly Hastings area.
Richards in Lea, Gloucestershire, then London.
Williamson in Leith, Vickers in Nottingham.
Webb in Bildeston and Colchester.
Wesbroom in Kirby le Soken.
Ellington in Harwich.
Park, Palmer, Segar and Peartree in Kersey.

Suttontrust,

Yes, that is often the case if the person posting has noticed the original date and decided that they have something new to offer after the time lapse!  Not like me, who totally failed to notice the date (mea culpa, mea maxima culpa... !  ::) )

Well it was me who replied originally to the thread, I certainly didn't realise it was 4 yrs old! :-[

Webuser did another article called Genealogy Tips last issue. It featured 12 ways to improve your genealogy research! Forums came in at number 5, with Rootschat gaining an honourable mention.  :)

Certainly no trap, I searched to see if it had been mentioned and didn't notice the date. Someone at Webuser obviously likes Rootschat.

I for one am so glad Webuser mentioned Rootschat because thats how I found you.
What a friendly and informative site this is.
I have really enjoyed reading through all the old posts and have found one inquiring about my family.
Keep up the good work :)
