Paul sent us a message on genes reunited about one of my wife's ancestors in relation to June 2005 RootsChat challenge.
I'd forgotten all about that!
I also nabbed some web space and converted my family history book to a web site.

And its an excellent website, Rootschatters - well worth a browse!
cheers
Paul

Hello to you All,
The people seem friendly, they don't bite, and have supplied information to my requests with such speed that I am still trying to get my head around what I have received.
I did try to return the favor to someone as I did infact know the answer  , I thought that I was quick, but I need to get a second computer to do the search while I type the answer out..............fast, they left me standing
I will no doubt return with alot more questions which I hope and know will be answered.
Many Thanks to all those people in advance, there will be alot !!!!!!!

It was a Link on the web page of a 'Poster' on another Forum.
Glad I found it!

This site was recommeded to me by a friend who had just started to research her family history. I hadn't really started tracing my family until I used Rootschat, but in the short time I have been researching I have got quite far back on all sides of my family, with the help of Rootschat.

Portrait of the genealogist as a young man
|
I've been trying to work out how to put my family tree on to my website and was on the Family Historian User Group site and Rootschat webspace was regularly being recomended. Well I found the site and I've been so busy looking at the really useful help and advice on every kind of topic, I haven't had chance to look at the website thing! Guess one thing all us family researchers have is patience so I know I'll get there someday.
Welcome AnjiM!
It's a wonderful rush when you first join RootsChat - all these different skills/talents, and loads of helpful people. Within a month of joining I had my family history site up and running - there's loads of advice on this subject on this board http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,292.0.html, and in particular lots of examples to look at as listed on this post - http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,23896.0.html
I'm sure you'll continue to get a lot of out of RootsChat.
