I was on a message board where they were saying that people on here weren't nice. I had a look anyway  - found that everyone was very very nice and stayed

Hope you're enjoying it.  Now, I wonder who it is that thinks we aren't very nice?  ??? 

I've no idea, but can we sue them ;D

Hi I am a Newbie from Down Under  :)
I cannot remember now for sure but I am so glad I found the site the people are so helpful and very nice. I guess I was just searching the net getting frustrated with no matches and bingo I found this wonderful site. May have been GenCircles or Genes Reunited. In the short time I have been a member have found out important information about my GGGGrandfather thanks to one of your wonderful members.

Via a fellow researcher/ neighbour.I have been singing your praises to others who also work as volunteers at my local FHS.
I  hope you will forgive me if you all become inundated with requests

I was looking for a support group for carers and put the word chat in the search engine....I wondered what this was...started exploring...found the chat room!

Found my support group and made huge strides with my family tree.

Thanks Rootschat!

Hi everyone,
I found this site by accident but am I glad I did! In the week I've been registered I've found my grandad(who with a name like John Jones was a problem) thanks to the military experts on the site and had good advice about other topics. Not living in England means I can't just drop into the local records office and being quite new to genealogy means tha

Hi everyone.
 Found by chance and aren't I glad! In a week I've learned more about my family and genealogy in general than in the past few months since I started this quest.
The people on here are knowledgeable, friendly and MODEST. I haven't been made to feel stupid or inadequate because I don't know very much.
Internet is a wonderful thing for people like me living abroad. Keep up the good work.

I, quite literally, stumbled across it earlier today.  Now if I could find my way into RootsChatter, I'd be happy.  I have a lot of questions. ???
