Generous with their knowledge
Generous with their time
The help they give to those in need
Is really quite sublime
From looking up a census
To decyphering a script
The friendly folk at Rootschat
Won't let themselves be whipped
The font of all their wisdom
Can be drunk from by those new
To all aspects of genealogy
Thanks to those diligent few
So 'hats off' to all Rootschatters
For every helping hand
You've prevented many a stumble
In the past - that foreign land

Paul,
Wow, what a lovely thing to do, write a Rootschatters poem.
I am blushing now. 
Kazza.

Wow Paul love it. As one who spends a lot of time searching it's great to to know it appreciated, here is a little ditty in return.
Paul we thank you for giving your time
to sing our praises in your rhyme
I along with all the others
who spend our time looking for mothers
and sons and daughters of those long lost
do so gladly sometimes at a cost
the only payment we can ask
is a little praise to ease the task
I can tell you Paul and this is no bull
consider your poem payment in full
regards
peterbennett

Thanks, Peter - but I'll clearly have to look to me laurels!
Thanks everyone - but I honestly have never come across a place where people go so much out of their way to help people. Its really refreshing to find!
