Hey,
I habitually Google the latest ancestor I find and my favorite brickwalls even after I have breached them, and this forum is alive.
Unlike another I recently discovered genforum which ancestry has closed.
Salute,

I was being mislead by a web page proclaiming its abilities at discovering a pauper ancestor that I knew had been in the workhouse and eventually died there. Though the web page came up 0 after several edits including a wildcard entry. Reminding myself that I did not really need this info and that no site can ever be 100% perfect. I then sort of stumbled onto Roots Chat and here I am.

Hi,

Welcome to RootsChat

I think you will definitely enjoy this site - if you need help there is always someone willing.  Plenty of amusing threads to join in or just read.
Just scroll to the bottom of any RootsChat page there is a Surnames Interests Index link where you can add your own surnames if you wish.

Regards
Sandra

Hi Sandra

Well light relief would make a pleasing change. I am on Ancestry and I can only assume that my attempts to correct a few mistakes by persons blindly accepting every single "hint" is seen as invasive or ill informed? I could give streams of examples but I am sure there might be a thread about it someplace and if not I might just toy with the concept.

Hi Clogs,

There is a thread linked below called "Inaccuracy Ancestry Trees" - might be worth a read.

I found rootschat a while ago while researching an ancestor.  Recently I was reintroduced to rootschat via a British Home Child research group.
