Yeah, and I've not even had a drink tonight (think the other half's hiding it from me) Selfish I call it!

PMSL well my days getting better Laura

Laura, The important thing is - WE ARE ALL HAVING A NICE TIME !! - I am at least - hope you are too. We will sort out the important thing tomorrow, but, for now, let's just have a chuckle, together. !!!!!!!!!!!! Dea Xxx

Do I have to wear the hair on my face (told you I am finding it difficult to spell) I dont like that Laura Oppps phone ringing hubby ringing

I find most people reply here but perhaps I am lucky. If you are like me and only get A-H hotmatches you will get new matches when you get a bit further through the alphabet. This does not necessarily mean they were added recently. I also belong to rootschat which is free. I left messages on their Australian and New Zealand board about a couple of my strays and got answers the next day with more information. The boards are organised by county and surname interest and contain links to local resources. I have also left contact details on several village web sites. I had ancestors from a tiny village near Bath but the website is obviously run by the local historian as he sent me all the burial inscriptions for my name and the history of the village blacksmith shop that my ancestor had owned.

Snowwy, Snowwy, - Tell hubby to give you a drink - I need help here !!!!!!!!!!!! What is this thing from Laura about 'hair on her face' !!! ??? Urghhh - Don't understand, but we have to save her !! Dea x

Annie Rn, Hi I remember reading about the info you got on the village blacksmith's shop - REALLY interesting. - Wish I could get something like that on MY rellies. !! Dea x

Dea I don't know what she's on about either - I gave up and went to look for a fanny for her .................. and I found one!!! Duly listed on said fanny thread.

Dea I know I got it right I have the dictionary here with me it is Beard shaving foam needed laura

Hi I am going for the night see you all in the morning / afternoon take care Laura

It's odd how different our experiences are. I started in January this year as a complete newbie, and within days had been contacted by a 2nd cousin and have now dozens of contacts, most of whom I have some, if distant, blood relationship with. The tally, for want of a better word, is now 8 'pages' of contacts, and my tree, which started out at around 50 people from the combined knowledge of Her Indoors and myself, has grown to 3500. That's one hell of a rate of growth, and I would hate to admit how much time I devote to my research - although the family remind me constantly(!). Perhaps that just makes me a 'name collector', although the last message I sent to a contact included an Ahnentafel Report for several generations of a family from painstaking transcriptions of several decades of census + BMD indices + IGI, and had three dozen source citations - so I can't be that rubbish!

We got a reply to one recently that my Daughter sent when she started the tree 18 months ago and it was full of info, so don't give up hope.
