Welcome to RootsChat, SR  :)  You'll find that some people on here have a sixth sense when it comes to look-ups, and also have a deep knowledge of family history issues.  I am sure your time with us will be profitable.

Around January this year I googled my grandmothers name in an idle moment, not expecting to find anything. I got to rootschat and saw a photo of grandma staring back at me! Used as tag picture by a rellie I had never heard of. Hooked from then on, that is what started me on the family history trail. 7 months now and I'm coming to the point where I need to get up and do serious digging, rather than just online searches. Eek!  :o

I saw reference to Rootschat on another site  & out of curiousity logged on . Exploring the site I stumbled onto Chatterbox today . I was literally dragged in , by the most wonderful people( dare I mention names? (M)grub,bally & sdbadger), who asked did I have any problem ,  I replied ' I do actually '!  Within minutes I was overwhelmed with information of my forebears I dont think I could have ever have achieved on my own . I  cannot express my gratitude sufficiently to these people & this site .  I've just got to tell the world. Ron Hamilton, N.Z.
