Several people mentioned Rootschat to me firstly from the BBC's Family tree board but others as well.

Also I've mentioned Rootschat to some friends who are doing their own Family Tree researches.

Does this messageboard have anything to with subjects like the
"SoE" Special Operations Executive as I have heard of it and have just come across a distant late relative who was in the SoE a spy wow
I am researching the Franklin, Samuel's, Jessel's. Waleys and Sassoon's among other many branches of my family.
I am also related to the bio-scientist Rosalind Franklin, who discovered the Single DNA Helix structure in 1953. But one of my main regrets in my life is that I never met this talented lady, who died at the young age of 37 in 1958 !!
The avatar's of my paternal grandmother, K. Jessel.
It is fun doing this amount of research.

I am just so glad that I found RC.  If only our unhappy world operated with the same philosophy and friendliness how wonderful it would be.  To all at RC I send my very best regards.

Thrilled to bits to find this forum, and registered straight away  ;D Was researching Kirkpatrick Durham on Google, whihc led to a post in the Scotland Board, so have posted suitable (I hope) reply there.
Looking forward to joining in, thanks for the forum.
