I discovered rootschat through the discussion board of futurelearn and now have found there is a free 14 day trial on findmypast. Other novices, like myself, may find this useful.

Welcome to Rootschat, glad you found us. Find My Past are also doing a month for £1 at the moment. Just remember to untick  the renewal box if you take up that offer.

Ummm, I've just signed up (gulp)  :-\

We'll be travelling for most of the time and might not have internet access every day, but I'll try to keep up :D

Don't quite get the 'following' thing though.  Better go and have another look.

Hi Aquilegia18.
If you go to the discussion page (with now over 8000 comments!) you'll see a 'Most Liked' button. If you click on that then scroll down the page before long you'll see us Rootchatters!
Jen

Then once you find one of us, click to see who we are following and follow those people as well.

Only about 12 hours until it goes live!

I signed up for the course ages ago when this topic started, but have only just seen this discussion page! Have joined now too. I've found a few fellow RCers from posts but can't see how to find out who you're all following  ???

I've signed up too!

I've been doing these Future Learn Courses since they first started up, - (I got sent a Link by the OU).
I've done quite a few now, and have really enjoyed them. (So far I've never 'introduced' myself though:-)

I guess it depends on what name you've registered under on that Site?
