This site is the best thing since blue smarties! It's like having a genealogical encyclopaedia right there to look through. Congratulations, as someone else said it can only get better! Once question, why when I click on faces do they appear in my box as letters? 
Moderator Comment: Ah, but mysteriously they then change back into little smilie faces again

Hi all,
Yes Roots Chat has been helpful to me, though I think I have become a boring guest.
What has proven hard to me is that while I know my grandfather was born Aug. 13, 1865 in Lincolnshire, I know nothing of his parents.
I know he arrived in the States in 1901. I also know he married my grandmother in McLean County, North Dakota, in 1908.
Furthermore I ran off a 1930 census list for Horse Shoe Valley Township in 1930. He is listed as being 65 years old.
I know he died in the same township of McLean County in 1952. I am not sure of the exact date, but I could get a copy from our State capital in about a week.
Having said all that, what is really confusing is how to fill in the blanks.
Hi there-have you the info from the 1881 census, if you send me his name and details you have I'll look for his record on the CD
Regards
SS

I have been using Rootschat for a couple of weeks now and have found it 
. Those of us with landline limitations due to our UK location really appreciate this. I especially like the self-help hyperlinks that are posted.
