This thread was posted just to help.
Some unneccessary unkind 'why's' - digs which I choose not to answer.
Not everybody is skilled at looking for records and even the know-it-all's need help at times.

As to the new search facility - I've not tried it much. Found myself with the 2 birth records and other close family just by seaching the name and year of birth. Then I tried the mother's name. Again added place of birth.
This didn't work.

I usually keep my searches simple - prefering to scroll down and check the most obvious records first. Doesn't always produce results but it is my way.

I also use the search all facility because it throws up some most unlikely results. Just found a WW1 death I never expected

Would be interesting to hear from others how they are finding the new search

:-D :-D

Thanks to Renes :-) I hadn't noticed that advanced search bit, the colour's not the best for my eyes, I prefer black on white.

EH??? Just gone back to beginning,only to find post is under review!
Why?
I am sure I'm not the only one who goes straight to their threads...I would have known nothing about changes on site,or what was now available,if it wasn't for this posting!

Why was the OP reported for review. I take it someone is being petty.

The reason the info was posted on this board as well as Genealogy chat is because so many members on General chat and visa versa don't bother with some of the other boards.

They like to chat with those they know.

General chat is a great forum to relax and have fun.

OMG you have to lol...... :-D :-D :-D ..... it is so obvious who has rr'd the post.

Thanks kind souls for the pm's - wondered what happened seeing my email box flash up.

Some people on Geneaolgy should give it a go.

Elaine I can see you are so furious you hit the button twice. If your last has come out as a doulble post when you look at it just delete one.

Anybody who is annoyed about any post that is reported/rr'd can complain to GR via normal email [email protected]

I done it so many times. They do listen at times

NanaSue I disagree with your comment that members on General do not bother with the other boards, a lot of us do, AND chat with people they know on those boards also. For eg out of the few people who have posted on this thread at least three have been helping on those boards for years.

call me pedantic but I hate generalisations!

Always seems such a waste of time to me to RR a post especially an opening one which is the relevant post...

Even if a person does not agree with it if it is non-contentious it shall return.

And as I have said before and will say again if I ever have cause to RR a post the person who I have reported will know I have done so and why.

I like things out in the open .. though I will praise on here loudly and chastise by pm quietly.

How ridiculous to report this thread. It is discussing something relevant to the site.

Someone really needs to get a life

Probably done by the person that does not like duplicate threads whether by accident or not.

It is really shameful that this thread has been reported.

It wasn't until I tried the search that I realised there was information on this site that might be of use to me.

Common sense tells me that someone is intent on keeping this vindictive fued on NS from some members on a high heat.

a few emails addresses can cause disaster and untrue speculaton and assumptions plus a ring side seat watching it all unfold.!

Yes Kay that seems quite probable.
