Hi Cheffings and welcome to rootschat, you will find that members here are most helpful and where possible will give you answers to your questions. If they don't know the answer then they usually have a link to something (or someone) that can help.  Don't just restrict your self to the chat room though and have a whizz around the different boards you maybe suprised at what you find.

Someone suggested it, I did not post much at first.

Someone on rootschat recommended the great war forum too!

I think I found this site just by searching for info. I really dont remember how I found these pages. But I do know I am fairly sure just by reading some posts and members info I have most likely found some distant rellies in Australia. For which I'm fairly rapt about. But more on that as time avails.  ;)

No,  I don't remember how I got here either but since I did Rootschat has given me hours of delight. Interesting questions asked and answered, caption competitions, wonderful photos - you name it Rootschat has it.
dwali summed it up by saying it ' feels like home ' and it's great that there are members from all around the world....    thanks Rootschat .

I was just finding how to find other members making the same tree as me and I stumbled onto a family making the Maghie family
I have been stuck on Rootschat ever since and come on it every day
I cannot be without all the people who want to help

the day I found Rootschat? can't really remember..but it was certainly one of my best moves - I've found so many great people here.  When I was starting out on my tree I asked many 'dumb' questions as I did not know any better, but I was never given the feeling 'oh, no another one....' and now am in a position to help others. The wheel turns....
