A friend, who uses it quite frequently, recommended it. Still getting to grips with it all though.

I was randomly googling my GGM's name and found an active member here that was my GGM's brother's grandson. So then I stayed and read around ..... and joined.

I cant remember now, but it has gone from just a site to me to one of the best I know.   Even though you don't know the people who use it, they are so friendly and helpful you find yourself thinking of them as friends.
