Genealogy Chat

Please only use this board for posting tips.
If you are trying to find people please use the trying to find board.
This board is for posting or asking for advice on how to do something i.e. TIPS.
There are some very good ones so if you are here take the time to read some of them.

cool it grumpy


People have been using all the boards for seeking all kinds of information for years!!


I KNOW what the T&Cs and board "instructions say ............ but you'll never succeed as a one man band!

People who need the help just don't read these advice threads. We've proved that time and time again!

People will ALWAYS post what they like any forum they like. The General board is supposedly for general chat about family history - you would be hard pushed to find any threads about family history on there but who cares?

On the whole I think that people DO post on the right board but some don't and it isn't a problem. If this board was for posting tips only, it wouldn't get many posts on it!

Hi grumpy.........LOL
heres a tip.......
if you suffer from vertigo , then parachuting is not for you.......

thanks guys, advice taken

I disagree. The Tips board is about "how to do", or "where to look", or "how to use the IGI", not about where is John Doe is 1871.

Well, when I first came on here, what 6 years ago, to be honest I thought the Trying to Find board was for living relatives - I never used it. I guess most new people feel the same way.

Does it really matter?

May be GR should change the Trying to Find Board name.

At my age I dont care where I post, just the fact that I managed to master the intricacies of this diabolical new site and actually print anything ,is an achievement by my standards.

glad i started a conversation, do not want life to become boring?
my wife says that i am just a wind up merchant, next will be religion and politics. as my kids say "NOT".

happy new year to all, and i mean it.

Very gracious of you :)

Seems to me that a lot of people post their questions on any of the boards.

All the boards from Records through to Surname info are much the same. It's only Gen and Chat that are a bit different and they are similar to each other.

Would be easier if there were just two boards.

1. Genealogy.

2. Everything else.


Jill

please note,
that user name mrs grumpy (jill) and i are not connected in anyway except through these boards. i have my own long suffering wife who i wouldn't swap for the world. i cannot speak for her though?

Hi Grumpy

Absolutely agree. I live with a Mr Grumpy though and Christmas has been a long week!!!

Jill

........................ now that we have cleared up that Grumpy and Mrs Grumpy are not married, at least not to each other ..........................



Happy New Year to you both!!

sylvia

to mrs grumpy bet your week has not been as long as mine, i will not go into what i think of christmas, but i live in spain and my wife commutes to england to work every 7 days which is where she is now and i have 4 children (teenagers) to entertain for christmas.
actually though we are having a great time,
i think,
not sure about them though, very hard to understand them at my age?

You sound just like my OH!

When my son was a teenager I learnt grunt language. Very useful! I can still remember odd bits of it!

Jill

beckys mum lets her stay out late,why cant i
davids dad lets HiM have a can of lager

Good ,!!! so i never have to taxi you around again or buy you new trainers.



then suddenly
mummyviv I love you do you love me?
,creep creep

NO, THE ANSWER IS NO

whatever you are after!

vivienne

the problem with my teenagers they are bilingual so they grunt in 2 languages?
still love them though. wouldn't be without them just a little more space needed.

so did and do mine,grunt in two languages i mean

but make the most of them as it soon passes

then they leave home and grunt at someone else

and then your left with the joy of grandchildren hopefully[im blessed with 2 and one arriving next month]

yipee !i can hand them back when ive had enough and be
the one who grunts

well im working on trying to remember how i did it all those years ago,payback time here it comes.


vivienne

long story but i also have 2 older children, so my wife and i have 6 children but only moved to spain with 4 as the other 2 have there own partners and i also have 4 grandchildren and only 50yrs young. still plenty of time for more, (grandchildren that is)
