HI everyone,

I was told about rootschat by my husbands cousin.  We have never met her or spoken before but now we cant seem to stop chatting.  Its fantastic and we have learned loads about the family by sharing info.

My Google search brought up somebody's discussion on the topic that is interesting for me.
I had to look at the site and registered.
Not very active here, but asked for help a couple of times and was lucky to get advice
Yhanx!

Well, someone on the WDYTYA message board posted a link - and that was only a few days ago!

I wish I'd know about rootschat years ago. I can't believe how friendly, helpful and knowledgeable people are!

It's brilliant :)

I found it by google, but that does not matter,so far I have found it to be one of the most helpfull sites on the net, and yes Christopher I have kissed the Blarney stone on a trip to Ireland about 10 years ago, I was worried that the two mad Irishmen holding my legs would let go.

Hi, It was suggested to me from a messageboard on rootsweb, and I am so very grateful, for I am now an active participant in the chatroom.  Cheers, and thank you
