I just found your Web page while surfing for "Springburn, Glasgow"
articles/websites. I have held a longing to find out a bit more of my 'family history' only to be thwarted by "Time Limitations" 'buying search time, etc., and getting nowhere.
I will search your site for 'Springburn' threads and I thank you for being here for us 'need to knows'
I have a wee website called "Springburn Place" and if any of your searchers are interested? they may find a 'name' they have on their search list on our pages.

Looking forward to some reveals, if you don't mind, I'll post a 'Link' of this site on my website, thank you.

I have just come across a relative who resided in Scotland. Rootschat seems to be the only forum that has any effective connection with Scotland. Fortunately I have found the site and hope to become involved.

The 1st place to start is with your own birth certificate. This will you your mother's name. If you don't have it you can order a copy from the Government Recordsd Office. http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/
You can do the same for your father.

Hi Frankie
If you go to rootschat.com you will see Beginners and How to Use Rootschat at the top of the list of boards which is a good place to start.
Basically if you want to ask for a look up in a certain county each County under England - Genral has a look up board.
Best regards
Kerry

I notice you're in Ireland Frankie, if you're looking for Irish ancestors there is an Ireland board where you can post.
At the very top of this page, in fact, every page, is the RootsChat.com logo, under that there's buttons for [Welcome] [Home] etc. Click on [Home] for the home page. From there you can navigate the forums and threads. eg; Common Room, Beginners, England etc.....
Best of luck. 
Leonie.
