I found Rootschat after receiving a message from someone I had corresponded with on TalkingScot telling me their server had gone out of business and directing me here to check for updates.
Summer and some health issues interfered and I've only just started exploring here.

Heavens I cant remember now think a lady from Canada researching the McColls told me about it. It is wonderful and I have found some very helpful people on here thanks to you all. A special mention to Peter Cornish who PMd me about a convict of mine.

I was looking for some detailed information and not coming up with much. The search engine brought me here. I think it is a great site full of lots of interesting things.
