A friend recently took it upon herself to start my family tree.
It was something I had always wanted to do, but never knew where to start.
She has now passed her gained information over to me - along with Rootschat address.
I don't know where she got it from - but I am glad she found you.

I stumbled upon Rootschat when a search engine (Yahoo) brought me here. One of the posters has the same surname as one that I was researching. :)

Hello,

I found Rootschat on a google search for FH forums -  RC is a fab site, I have had lots of help with my "brickwalls".

Cheers

My twin sister told me about it.  While on was looking at the website my partner walked past and wondered what I was looking up 'Rootschat'...a root can be interpreted in other ways in Australia : ::)
