Purely by accident  :)

I was searching for something completely 'off topic' and it turned up in the results.

I typed my family name into Google, and the first result was a RootsChatter who had listed half my family.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing!

To be honest, I don't recall. But I do remember sitting down on the lounge one day, and wondered what it was that was sticking out behind the cushions.  ;)
In another dimension, I typed in search for the truth in google, and look what I found....
Rootschat, where all the good folk are at!

I can't remember but it's been a godsend, thank you all for your patience and diligence. I probably came across it whilst faffing around on the net looking for family mentions. I would still be doing that without the rootschatter's help given to me over the past few years.  Pat W

I found it today Googling for information on a relative buried in the U. K. 150 years ago (I am American).
