I'm the same as Deirdre, only just finished my day's work and activities and sat down to have a quick catch-up on RC before delving into the course.   It's to be expected that some would be more advanced than others, so with my daily schedule I'm resigned to being towards the tail end on most weeks.  Off to see what's what now; be back later.

Thanks for the RootsChatter logo Deidre, I'll try putting it on my profile later. I'm glad that the course only opens one week at a time; I was dreading it opening all at once as I'm sure I would have been overwhelmed. As it is, I'm trying to pace myself with it, pretty straightforward so far, up to 1.9 as well, same as you groom! I'll look at the rest over the next few days.

No problem Rainbow Quartz  :) it certainly does identify us (and may get more members if everyone wants to know what it stands for!!).

I went through to 1.12 so half way. Not keen on all the discussions though, way too much for me, though i am reading the comments from those I'm following.  :)

Forgot I'm also doing a 30 day trial of Family Historian 6 at the moment too  ::)

Hi Mogwood, hopefully we'll manage the first few weeks quite quickly so at least get into the course before it gets more involved / interesting  :)

It seems another Rootschatter (I presume is KGarrad) has commented on the post below this one also using the logo so hopefully a few people will see some kind of connection and come looking! ;D

That logo was a brilliant idea, Deidre. It certainly makes it easier to spot fellow Rootschatters.
