Oh yes! So many people have already helped me a huge amount, it really is a wonderful site, so many kind people on it. Just wish I could help others more often. :)

Hi Beverley

I agree totally, and what I like about that help is that it often helps you to think in other ways about research into my ancestors.

For instance I went to my local record office this week and spent the morning scanning pages of bmds, great and I filled in a lot of gaps.  But on rootschat people help each other out with the other bits of information other than those simple data such as occupations, places and lifestyles and have helped me to pad out the lives of those people who seem to have become somewhat important to me.

A resounding YES! I have not many posts, but any requests for help, have been met by the friendliest, most helpful people. :D

 Lydart, I can honestly say that I really mean to do some research, but every time I get on here, I end up reading everyone else's posts, and can't seem to think about what I should be doing/looking for, as it all makes such interesting reading, following the YTG, looking at the photos, etc. ;D

I would just like to echo what Lydart has written

When I first came on here, I asked some of the dumbest questions (proberly still do), no one seemed to mind, they were all answered with kindness.

 If it wasnt for Rootschat I wouldnt be researching my family....I tried awhile back and ran into "that wall"....Stumbled onto Rootschat and boom......Instantly people are out to help out anyway they can...And the info on these pages by searching... ...Amazing...

Rootschat has also been one of the ways that has brought my mother and myself closer...We found a Hobby in common ...I never knew she was also so big in finding her side of the family as well as her new husbands......

Thanks Rootschat and the people that keep the wheels turning here..
