If I have a thread on here but havent had the answer I'm looking for can I ask on the Help Clinic as well?

Don't see why not, nothing to say you can't. ;-)))

Mary, thank you for your reply.

I've just been browsing through and on a thread they say we can't do both, like someone said, I thought the Help Clinic was for brick walls?
If we cant get our answers on the board, it's obviously a brick wall but we cant ask again on the Clinic. I'm even more confused lol.

To be honest it's just the same people looking! But OK I think as long as you guide us to the existing thread.

as I understand it, the Help Clinic is supposed to be there to help you break down brick walls.

To me, that means that you have already searched records, on here and elsewhere, and not found anything AND that you have probably asked for help on these boards before, without anything being found


Therefore, to me, there can be no objection (or should not be) to you posting a request on the Help Clinic ..... although it would probably be a good idea to say what has or has not been found, which censuses or other records have been found, etc ....... possibly even giving the url of any thread that you might have started.



But I do note that I was told when asked to be one of the advisors that sites other than GR, fmp and Scotlands People could not be used, and there could be no c&p'ing of information from those other sites. It would be permissable to give advice on what to enter into google to find information

I have to assume that this restriction was not given to the advisors now working as I see they do c&p censuses and other information from sites other than brightsolid ones.

Actually, having re-checked the guidelines, it does specify that we can't use sites other than GR, FMP and Scotlands People. Oops!

Thank you all for your replies.

Morning Bonny lass.....I cant help you on this I am as confused as anyone...Just keep doing what you always do otherwise I might lose track of you..!!

Erin, did you used to be in the Brownies, cause everywhere I go, you always find me. lol

Its not a conscious thing..!! Definately some connection way back when...but not Campbell thats for sure..and No I cannot find out if Nellie is your Nellie..and I have tried...Did you know the Blue's were in Greenock early 1800's....(back there again)

Erin, the first "Blue" I have in Renfrewshire is Elizabeth, born 1868 in Port Glasgow. Come on..... do you know something I don't. lol

No they were in Inverkip Street prior to that...Honestly dont know how I got involved in your family...well yes I do... it was the Ireland connection...!!
Will send you the Blue's you may as well paper another room...will be up in the attic before long...Just let me know which thread you want them posted on..!!!!

Erin, sorry I havent replied sooner, had to take the dog to the vet.

Thank you for your help AGAIN lol.

Can you just post it on here please, I don't want to start too many threads (oops, I already have).

And by the way, I'm havin an extension built so I need more wallpaper hahaha x

Am after chasing Nellie around Brooklyn at the moment but cant find that thread either...!!
If you go to www.familysearch.org you will find a whole raft of Blue/Blew names the above are just some of them...however the actual records for the Greenock Old Parish show a John Blue 16 Feb 1755 parents John Blue and Margaret McCulkan...also Registers dated 1698-1756. You will need the extension and plenty of paste for the Walls...!!!
