Most certainly.

I ask for help after searching for 6 years for my grandfather,

I got a reply  that took me back to 1760 with his line.from another rootschatter.
It turned out we were 2nd cousins...we have never met,he lives in Scotland while I am in Lincolnshire England.

Its great to be on Rootschat .

Many Thanks to you all who take care of the site.

Early day's for me to, but already i have been most welcomed and advised how to get into and onto this site.I have been needing to check around Monmouthshire re; family history for some time now, and i am so glad to be here, from  'Welsh woman in Oz.

Love every part of it - particularly the way those who help you go out of their way to make sure you understand and have got as much information as you need!

With the help of fellow RootsChatters I've been in touch with my Fathers(who died 34 yrs ago) family.Sadly theres a funeral Friday,of one of his brothers,but am excited as going to meet the rest of the family!!!!!  I know it sounds bad being excited to go to a funeral but I haven't met any of them for over 37 years!!!!!Also will be going to visit the graves of those that have sadly past on that I never knew or could remember,to pay my respects.

Usually Rootschat is very good with helpful responses.
I thank everyone who has helped me - a few have been spectacular in their thoughtfulness and effort.
I can still recall the email someone sent me suggesting i try this site.
I apologise for any tardiness on my side in getting back to responses in the past.  I've had a difficult year or two (cancer and deaths of family) so i have taken breaks from searching. 
Many thanks,
Julie

It has already been a great deal of help.
I was rather chaotic in my queries to start with and now am trying to focus on one line at a time.
The difficulity comes when I find that, having started with my father's diaries in Cheshire 1940s (now at the Record Office there by the way) - I find that I want to follow relations in Dublin, N.Wales, Scotland (Glasgow) and Lancashire.  And South Africa.

So I couldn't answer the poll about which country.
I keep coming back here but am getting on a lot of local discussion sites and following up any clues from general google searches.

Hi little alison, To begin here after reading your reply to [will rootschat Chat be of help to you?] I firmly belive that everyone of whom I have contacted here as done more than I did never expect indeed.  After which my  thoughts are with you being that my lineages also came from far and wide..However how nice to see so many people trying to help whereby they are not even of the same line of history-names.. A very homely site to say the least. Diane.

In answer to the Poll question, I've had to say 'I don't know' - not because I doubt the ability of the site or it's members but purely because I can't foresee into the future so I really have no idea.  Do I hope that RootsChat will be of help to me..?  That's a whole different question and in answer to that I'd have to answer Yes.  If the answer to either of the questions were to be No then there wouldn't really be any point in being here, would there?  Maybe that's just me and my own particular view of logic.

It's heartening to see so many people answer in the positive though, it gives one optimism that we will also be so lucky...
