I found a reference to rootschat on another board and 'googled'. People are generally helpful but it can be frustrating to post and get no replies  Even a 'sorry I can't help you but have you tried ...' would be helpful to newcomers. That is just an observation not a criticism

Yes Joy, I'm sure it's frustrating! I always try to answer any unanswered post I come across, even if I can't help much, for just this reason! These are in the minority though, to be fair. In the past, I have sometimes posted a request for help and had a reply within a couple of minutes!

I was given the URL by a fellow researcher over the microfiche parish records in my local library

Can,t remember how but 4 years ago threw in a query for a family in Oz. Completely forgot the whole thing till Jan. this year and got an answer from a 3rd. cousin. Since then I,ve been using RC fast and furious. Even found another 3 rd cousin in Oz. They didn,t know about one another, but have met up now and going great guns gathering info. I have a big family down under, at least 400 or so and all thanks to RC for helping me find them.
I must agree with Joy though, it,s frustrating never getting a reply to a query. Though on the whole I,ve been extremly lucky.
Cheers. Mary.

HI everyone,
I was told about rootschat by my husbands cousin. We have never met her or spoken before but now we cant seem to stop chatting. Its fantastic and we have learned loads about the family by sharing info.
