What Country is your research ?

I've traced back to 1820-1830 Ireland so far, but have now hit a block

All new users - you may receive better answers if you post to the beginners board of Rootschat: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,47.0.html

It's best to ask specific questions if you have any, rather than just a general statement, so that Rootschatters can help you.

Nanagrampy,
without sounding rude of course, that is the purpose of this thread, that people can list their countries of interest.
Of course, it is helpful that you point beginners in the right direction where to post their difficulties.

And Absolution, welcome to Rootschat. Well done on getting that far in Ireland. Irish records are notorious for being elusive.
I have three or four different lines I can't trace, as I have no details of where the families came from in Ireland. When asked for place of origin in records, all have simply put "Ireland"; very unhelpful!

Hi Pinefamily,

I know that the purpose of this thread is for people to list their interests but looking at the lists of posts, it seems lots of people registered and then put a post on here to receive no reply. It seems potential future Rootschatters may be put off Rootschat from a post on here.

I don't think there is a solution which pleases everybody, but I thought I'd notify people that they should post specific queries elsewhere if they would like any help.

No worries, Nanagrampy. That's why I post on here as often as I can, to welcome, encourage, and guide. We're on the same page then.

We would love to find out more about the people who use the site and the areas that you are researching.

Please let us know which the main area of research for you.

Hi, I am new to this and puzzled by the available choice of countries.   I want to post 2 surnames I am researching in Barbados, and none of the choices fit.  I can't just type in the country name.  This is not like other sites with a full list of countries.  Now what??

[Erato]

You should put your post in the 'Other Countries' forum which is located just below United States in the list of forums.  Since it is a grab bag of all other countries, it would be a good idea to put Barbados in the title of your post to get the attention of anyone interested in that area.

Erato's perfectly correct but Berlin-Bob has added this stickied topic to that board which explains about posting there-
