I have mentioned it to a few, but if others did the same then perhaps it would'nt be such a problem.

If newbies did'nt see look ups here they may then think again before posting

One member, no name mentioned, used to post 1911 lookups on all three of the old boards, they probably thought that no one would count on how many requests they posted.

Now posting them on this board. And no not a new member but can not be bothered to read any guidelines

Lookups used to be done on the tips board, too :)

I think I read that genes reunited hope to be able to implement moving threads from one board to another and merging some, too, so that will be good.

Yes .and despite Genes saying in the Please Read Before Posting Guide that look up requests will be deleted, they're not dong so !!
Perhaps if they did what they say they were going to do it would encourage people to put their look ups requests on Find Ancestors ;-)

Seems to have become the successor to the "Trying to Find"
Board despite the request "not to ask for look ups on this board" ! :-S
