No No No No No!! NO symbols I have a thing about them blessed symbols. Some people spend AGES putting sillly symbols by there name and they are quite often the ...erm...erm...ones that haven't got a clue what they are looking for. I so often want to say 'if you put as much effort into research as you did your name , you'd get on better'' Not everyone but some. Perhaps i'd better delete that, or duck quickly! No No Not Derbyshire Dancer....very clever person |

Hi everyone, I've given up with all your new names - but you all seem to be having fun...lol TIP - seeing that this is the Tips board - When sending messages can everyone please add some dates to names e.g. Fred 1920 Bloggs so that I (at least) know which Fred Bloggs you refer to on my tree. Thank you. Vera, Manchester |

Vera , Sarah and I spent AGES hunting a family for someone. The chap had the middle name Rathbone amnd we assumed all sorts (mothers maiden name etc) It transpires ( as another researcher popped in and helpfully told us,) that Rathbone was a name that was used as a middle name because it was an 'important' name in the north of England and people wanted to be associated with this high class family, Rathbone. It gave us such a runaround, it has now become an 'in' joke, especially as we saw the name mentioned again last night and pulled the researchers name about their family wanting to appear important |

The bad bit is that the person we were doing the research for yesterday, or the day before (Olde Crone Marj Holden) turns out to be related to the REAL Rathbones. Lol Am leaving my symbols - sorry!!! MMM (I might remove my square if you tell me what your name means, Jess)!! |
