Kathy, I'd leave your post title as is - you're working from fact and that, at the moment, is the surname Scott which is the only one we have as fact. The possible Dowling link is still unproved and to be confirmed  :)

Do you think it's worth changing the topic heading at this point to Scott/Dowling Adoption or is that getting too personal?

In my opinion, you should leave it as is...you haven't yet proved conclusively that Mona Scott IS Mona Dowling.  But others may disagree....

oh dear, me and Mona are at it again!  Why have the red warnings that someone has posted disappeared?  It's annoying!  Now I'm really going to bed!

Oh...and how do we know that Annie Scott's mother was newly wed?  we do know that Annie Teresa DOWLING who had Mona Dowling DID get married, don't we?  WEll, we do know that Annie Teresa Dowling did get married to Edward Houchin..are you saying that Mona Dowling born in 1916 might not be daughter of THIS Annie Teresa..?  But she IS..it has it on her certificate.. I'm confused where you're going with this idea!

Okay...you are assuming that Annie Teresa Dowling, once she married, gave up Mona Dowling for adoption, because Mona Dowling disappears, right?  Oh!  Forget me!  Never mind....I am losing the plot....because Annie Teresa had 2 more children, and they didn't know about her...so where did she go...Ignore that prior post of mine.  I really need to go to bed, obviously!

Just wondering about the title because we're trying to prove the connection and if people just access it because it has the name Scott, those interested in Dowlings won't access it and we might miss some connections that Dowling searchers might know about.

Red warnings = little notices that used to appear, warning someone that a post had just been made on a Rootschat thread, and would they like to reconsider before posting themselves - a sort of pop-up message that appeared when you hit POST.

They have temporarily been disabled while work is done on the website and sometimes that means that two posts by different authors are made at the same time, which don't take account of each other.

So if I try to post the same information as (for example) Daisy Loo at virtually the same time, it will just let me, whereas it used to flash up a warning.

This is tricky to explain!  When they come back, all will become clear!

Kathy....anyone doing  a "google" search on Mona Dowling, will come across this thread.  I have just tested it, and it was the third hit!  But at the the end of the day, it's your thread, so your decision. :)

Arranroots, I think you explained better than I!  (I sent an email)
