Hi again Francis You can post a reply on your thread by clicking 'add a reply '. Sounds obvious I know but it took me a while to figure it out at first! lol Regards Ann

Frances, If, as Reg says, you only joined 5 days ago, then wait a couple of weeks. 'Hot Matches' are sent out about once a fortnight. Have you ticked the box that says you want to be advised of these? If you haven't then you need to go into 'My Account Details' and do this. You can also put the names of your ancestors into the 'Quick Search' box at the top of the page to see if anyone else has these names in their tree. Kath. x

Can I point you in the direction of the threads which have been posted to help new members......just put 'newbies' in the search box at the top...........it really is worth taking the time to read the threads, and absorb all the tips and helpful advice. You'll soon find your way around..........but bear in mind that GR is not a site which holds any records whatsoever..........any units you may have purchased are for other sites. Reg

Hi Frances. Don't despair! It's just a case of finding your way around. There are lots of folks on GR who will give you all the help you need regarding tips on research, look ups etc. Its amazing what knowledge people have on here. Don't be afraid to ask for help:) I was absolutely 'lost' when I first joined, I didn't have a clue! Regards Ann

Frances Those of us who have been around on GR for a while would always advise not to buy any units through this site. There are much better ways to find out the info you need....... This board is about helping each other.............if you need some info.......or advice about how to find it.............just ask! I see that you only joined 5 days ago...........give things a chance! Reg
