Hi Rosalind, and welcome to rootschat. Do not forget that once you have spun around the boards have a look in at the chat room where members can also help out (sometimes, it seems instantly). It can be a bit daunting going in there for the first time but once you get used to it, it does become easier. Enjoy your time on here as the natives don't bite  Grin and are very friendly.

Thanks old rowley, I hope that I will do this soon and so far rootschat seems to be a friendly forum.

I am researching the Franklin, Samuel's, Jessel's. Waleys and Sassoon's among other many branches of my family.
I am also related to the bio-scientist Rosalind Franklin, who discovered the Single DNA Helix structure in 1953. But one of my main regrets in my life is that I never met this talented lady, who died at the young age of 37 in 1958 !!
It is fun doing this amount of research.

I was bumbling around on another website and someone suggested I should join Rootschat as you are all very nice and helpful!    I can't even remember which website it was!   I wonder if they wanted to get rid of me ........!    Anyway, I am glad I joined and to all who have helped me a big grateful thankyou.

Thanks Sue

I have a few members of the Franklins, who died in the First World War
they will be  a problem because I've forgotten the right site that I found for the Commonwealth War Graves information.

I use Google for most of my searches and books etc.

Yes thanks Geoff this is the very site that I had forgotten about but now I've saved it to my PC. So it'll be easy to find again when
I need it. I will have a good look around the forum over the coming days.  Cool

JiminWales thanks for that advice and I'll look into it later.

Also where on this forum do I look for help with tracing a casualty of the First World War?

Hi Rosalind

And welcome to Rootschat!!  Grin

Try the Armed Forces board.  It has a child board for World War I which may be an appropriate place to put your query.

Best wishes,

MarieC thanks for that helpful information but the details I am after
concern a 36 year old. So what does a child board have to do with the
World War 1?

Rosalind,

"Child" board means that it is a sub-board of a main subject board - in this case, the Armed Forces Board!  It has nothing to do with children!

Take a look at the main page of Rootschat, the index board with all the boards listed on it, and you'll see what I mean.  It's a good idea to have a thorough browse around Rootschat and familiarise yourself with its layout.

thanks for your reply but I live in London. Which is turning
up some interesting searches including the fact that Highgate Cemetery is full of history like one of the men buried there was a relative, Arthur Waley/Schloss and no I've not got around to seeng it yet.

Hi,

I found it by travelling along wee back roads and rough Irish country lanes. I came through many Irish townlands http://www.seanruad.com/ - 12k Irish Townland Search. I found 5 places starting with " Root ", three ending in " hat " threw in " sc " for super chat and arrived here . It has to be an Irish townland. I've never met so many people with the gift of the gab. Have all of yez kissed the Blarney Stone ?

I loved this post!  lol.  I cant remember how I found my way here! I have no sense of direction. But leastways, I found my way back. Its the best site I've been on.  Grin
