Rosalind,

"Child" board means that it is a sub-board of a main subject board - in this case, the Armed Forces Board!  It has nothing to do with children!

Take a look at the main page of Rootschat, the index board with all the boards listed on it, and you'll see what I mean.  It's a good idea to have a thorough browse around Rootschat and familiarise yourself with its layout.

Thankyou for that Marie

Thank you both and I will do that now.  :)
I am researching the Franklin, Samuel's, Jessel's. Waleys and Sassoon's among other many branches of my family.
I am also related to the bio-scientist Rosalind Franklin, who discovered the Single DNA Helix structure in 1953. But one of my main regrets in my life is that I never met this talented lady, who died at the young age of 37 in 1958 !!

It is fun doing this amount of research.

Hi,

I found it by travelling along wee back roads and rough Irish country lanes. I came through many Irish townlands http://www.thecore.com/seanruad - 12k Irish Townland Search. I found 5 places starting with " Root ", three ending in " hat " threw in " sc " for super chat and arrived here . It has to be an Irish townland. I've never met so many people with the gift of the gab. Have all of yez kissed the Blarney Stone ?

I loved this post!  lol.  I cant remember how I found my way here! I have no sense of direction. But leastways, I found my way back. Its the best site I've been on.  ;D

I just stumbled across the site having 'Googled' a place name and judging by the poll many others have had the same experience.
