Well, someone on the WDYTYA message board posted a link - and that was only a few days ago!

I wish I'd know about rootschat years ago. I can't believe how friendly, helpful and knowledgeable people are!

It's brilliant Smiley

I found it by google, but that does not matter,so far I have found it to be one of the most helpfull sites on the net, and yes Christopher I have kissed the Blarney stone on a trip to Ireland about 10 years ago, I was worried that the two mad Irishmen holding my legs would let go.

A friend recently took it upon herself to start my family tree.
It was something I had always wanted to do, but never knew where to start.
She has now passed her gained information over to me - along with Rootschat address.
I don't know where she got it from - but I am glad she found you.

I stumbled upon Rootschat when a search engine (Yahoo) brought me here. One of the posters has the same surname as one that I was researching. Smiley
