Elva,

All forgiven,
You girls do a fantastic job

with the Ausy side you come to a hault when you have to go back to the English side and GR is great site for making those contacts

I have LDS -- PAF5 on my computer and dont have every thing on GR but dont know how to do a gemcom as yet, learnt how to scan and send emails
.
Christine's advice is pretty much how I do it, but I had only followed one side of the family up until I joined GR

And now I am like the bank add that says - it has branches everywhere.

.................Lois

Elva

I look at the site and the boards and though what a great community of people just like family - only better and my first contact was a fantastic lady in channel islands, had my Welsh /Irish side and I had the Ausy side it work to both our advantage in contact through personal email exchanged photos docs, and certs. and is my 3rd cousin, would not have found her without GR

Lois..........

Julie,
Have found so many branches from York, kent, cheshire, suffolk - scot and irish
all that mix blood I talk backwards

..........Lois

Julie,
Sorry I didn't mean You,

Elva's Question, was loaded

why did you join? (if you don;t want to share)

..................Lois

Sorry Lois..Cos you had my name i thought you was talking to me lol

Take Care

Julie

Where you gone lol

Lois

I never said you shouldn't share at the end of the day thats up to you, i was just explaining what had happend to me & i do share info i just don't open me tree

Julie

Julie,
As I have only been a member for less than 2 months I thought it was a relevant questiion to ask

was it the normal way to request access?,

Your comment is relavent but it isn't that I don't want to share.

The request for access came by auto reply
but didn't respond to the question or offer to share.

I think Christine is on the right track, I am in control of my tree and I shoudn't feel I have to give access if I am not sure, there is a match I need to ask again for information.

I had a contact that had my g/parents as a match but when I seen the tree I new it was wrong. I explained where it was wrong and once the member realised it, we are sorting through by personal email to help rebuild her tree

I allowed her to access to my tree so she could eliminate the wrong members. so sharing isnt the problem.

I think in this case it is a little close to home being my father it isn't ggg/aunty so and so, I need to know if it is my father on there tree or another relative with the same common name

and I would just like to thank Dewdrop for helping and also Kerrie doing Aust.look ups they gave me so much infomation for my tree and helped several branches that is one good reason to be a member and I think it was Shirley who sent some interesting information as well
love you girls xxxx
.
thanks for the support Julie..............Lois
ps I have only been a member for less than 2 months

thankyou..........Lois

Thank you Claire

I would also like to add to that you also do a terrific job helping others too

xx

I'm like Julie, I no longer open my tree. but this does not mean I don't share information.

Julie spends a lot of her free time on here doing a terrific job helping others, who I'm sure are very glad that she's a member

Hi Lois

I have my tree only open to about 4 people 3 are related and 1 isn't but we share a surname from the same area, and these 4 have never coping from my tree, but i did open it to some who copied the whole lot, so since then i don't.

Elva

If someone chooses not to open there tree that's down to them, and it shouldn't be insinuated that cos they choose not to then they shouldn't be here

Elva,
I now I joined to expand my tree but the person that I asked for more information about is my father

Lois
PS will check out the tree bandits - thanks
