Hello, it's Matt here. This is my first toe in the water of this forum so be kind!

The last week has been a deluge of interest from WDYTYA to home, work and website with so much extra information on my family. during the filming of the episode it really took me from disinterested to fascinated in two short weeks and I now have a hunger to know more. in the process of following some of the leads I stumbled across the Rootschat forum and what's more a thread in my honour!

i found the episode good to watch - i was out the night it went out so had to catch up 24 hours later - and found myself thinking oh they cut that bit and where did that go? but all in all a well edited reflection of the fortnight schedule. As many people have commented I genuinely had no idea when they rolled out the last parchment as to where it was going.

I don't promise to be on here every day but happy to find a group of people who enjoyed the show.

Matt

Welcome to Rootschat Matt

I am sure you will get a great deal of help here for any queries you have. Everyone is very friendly here and some are extremely knowledgable about the most obscure subjects.

And congratulations on the direct decendancy from the Almighty himself !! ;D

Welcome Matt

Glad to see you got the bug too - just yell when you need any help we'll do the best we can

And as your descended from God when you get five minutes could you ask him who fathered my Nanny Roberts please?

God says one thing at a time - he's still checking his calculations on early kings of England. Edward I he doesnt mind too much but he has a real problem with Henry VIII. Shifting sides all the time apparently.

More seriously I have now discovered a whole arm of Pinsents in Canada. Indeed there are towns named Pinsent in Newfoundland. Is it most likely they emigrated one way across the Atlantic? or equally possible there was a too and fro? The Pinsent records run out in Devonport so some maritime link might seem logical. Is there an obvious way to check - are passenger manifests available and how far back do they go?

Welcome to RootsChat Matt.  We are a crazy but dedicated bunch on here, always ready to help others, and give opinions !

I believe I suggested earlier that it would have been nice to follow your father line back ?  Are you going to consider that maybe ?  

And don't take the God thing too seriously ... we are all descendants of God in one way or another !  

There's a whole set of boards on here for Canada questions ... and LOTS of helpful people there too !

I thought this was the best programme of the series.

I had seen a programme previously about gateway ancestors, this explained it all so well.
