*Makes swift note of duel membership number for future reference*

Just a short sorry to Reggie, as this has spoiled his thread a bit :o((

However I promise to mop up all the remains of the shared laughter left on this thread :o))

Thanks again Reggie, your info is welcomed by the majority :o))

I have seen that done before ... :-)

Good advice by Reg with follow up lead to the sites by Keith - thank you both.

Reggie all I can say the millions that voted for you seem to think your more than helpful......~~~~~


PMSL.....

I think the advise is to ,read ,read and read,the first steps and guides , into discovering your family history,,,,,,,,,,there are many books/ sites which will guide you where ,what and how&,pitfalls,,,,subscribe to one of the family research magazines that are published monthy...go join your local family history group even if its not your ancestors area,,here you will be advised your first steps,,,,then use this site when you have a little more insight,

WDYTYA,,,,,,needs ignoring,,,this is all done pre -search by professional researchers,,,,,who have many years experience,,,,

Reg and Keith, timely advice and help for members who aren't sure what course to take, and thank you for that.
No way could the first posting be taken as criticism!

There are obviously 2 Josephines reading this,why should a person want to change there nick name ?


The name might of changed but your membership number doesn't..7938613

Nudged, as the thread posting is great advice.

I think Reggie will be disappointed to see this thread when she returns to it.

Maureen

Maureen - that's why I think it should be nudged now and then because of the initial advice. :-))

Judith - forgot to say, thank you for your input as well. Sorry, meant to have said that earlier! :-))

I notice that KITCH/Jok doesn't have the bottle to come back to the thread and own up!!!

Good advice Reggie...............and thankyou for all the look ups you have done for me on the census years

Reggie , I agree 100 per cent but having come across a lady on here who did put up a request on tips , the following should be taken into account ..
This lady was a pensioner , before she decided to ask the question on here she had spent over £40.00 on credits trying to "find the information herself".Money she could ill afford .
She did not subscribe to ancestry , so I found the information for her. her £40.00 worth of credits she spent took me approx 20 mins to find on Ancestry.. another 20 mins answered her question .She is now a member of Ancestry ...
Kim

I would just like to add, that Reg has helped me many, times with things I been STUCK with, and I have taken the advice to go to I.G.I, familysearch and freebmd, if it wasn't for Reg I wouldn't have known they existed.

SO REG THANKYOU

Regards

Oh Kim, that is so sad. I hope the lady in question is faring well in her research.

I don't think Reggie is saying waste money or struggle unnecessarily. After all that's what this board is for to help. These are just a few pointers in the right direction,

Sound advise from Reggie (as always) and I needed a good laugh before bed lol

Further sound advise

Don't post a thread & then disappear for 2 days, you may find the answer has been deleted by then!
