Good heavens, I can't remember how I found it!  Ermmm ... maybe I did a John Lennon, in reverse ... and turned left at Japan?  ::)
I live in Sydney, Australia, and I'm researching: Powell, Tatham, Dunbar, Dixon, Mackwood, Kinnear, Mitchell, Morgan, Delves, & Anderson

I cant remember now think it was friend from America.
I second loandy it is the best site on the net. People so helpful and knowledgable and answer our queries very quickly. Noted today someone put a photo to be cleaned up yesterday and bingo today two people had cleaned it up beautifully where else would you get service like that.
Good Work everyone.

Found rootschat by a most fortunate accident  ;)   I was fed up of non user-friendly sites and was just trolling the internet.    Haven't looked back and I hope have helped the odd person find some relatives they previously didn't know they had.    The kind users of this site have certainly helped my researches enormously..........thank you all.

Hi everyone,

I found Rootschat when I googled an ancester's full name.  Totally out of the blue and I'm really glad I did!
