I'd just like to add my thanks to Bob for a mammoth task undertaken with great bravery and carried out with distinction!

This facility will be so useful!

Celia,

Press the button "SHOW all with my surname interests".  That should bring up all the Joneses.  If it doesn't, come back here and leave a message for Bob, who will doubtless be able to solve the problem!  I've just checked, and your name is listed there.

Well done Bob, it looks great!!

I just entered a few (cough, cough) names, putting the area in the comments box. I tried a search for one of my names and there I was in the results list. When I clicked on my name in the list, up popped a contact box for me to send a message.... super!!

Thanks for doing this for us...
Chris

Berlin-Bob

I am still finding this warning against our surname of NICHOLSON in the surname index.

It only appears when you ask for"Show all with my surname interest" and not when you ask for "Show all with my entered names".

Hi Christmack

Does it appear when you click on 'Show just my surname interests' on the left?

Hi Paul

No it does not appear on  "Show my surname interest " on the left. It only appears when I click on " Show all with my surname interest".

Hi Christmack,

I'm back in town !

Sorry to tell you this, but you are suffering from the O'Crikey ! - syndrome  Sad  Sad

Unfortunately, this is hereditary and can happen to everybody with an O'Someone in their ancestry !!

However, it is curable !!  Medical therapy is being developed, along with a non-painful way of applying it !!

Please be patient !

Hi Berlin Bob

I entered my surname interests a while ago.  But to-date I have had no luck with the Search facility on the database to see if anyone else is researching the same names.  I get the impression it is up and running so what am I doing wrong?

Hi Lindy Lou,

You have 2 entries in the SIT: FRY and OUTTERIDGE

if I enter "fry", "SHOW all for the entered name" I get 7 RootsChatters searching for FRY ! (it doesn't matter if I click "exact", "begins ..", "within ..")

What happens when you click on "SHOW all with my Surname Interests" Huh

By the way, you are the only one searching for OUTTERIDGE.

I cannot log into the Surname Interest Table. I get a message telling me to log onto Rootschat even though I have already logged in.
What on earth am I doing wrong? Are we supposed to have a registration #?

Hallo
If you look back through some of the earlier pages of this thread you'll see that some of us had exactly the same problem. One solution was to briefly disable your firewall eg Norton which usually enabled access to SIT and speaking for myself I never had a problem thereafter. I think others had to go to internet options and delete their temporary files too

Can't you enter the same name twice?  For example, I have two unrelated WILLIS families.  One from Bucks, one from Yorkshire.   I have added the one from Bucks but can't seem to get the one from Yorkshire to appear.

Same with another surname in my tree.

Redwood,

It's best to check first that you are entering the Surname Interest Table using the link found right at the bottom of this page "[ Your Surname Interests ]". If you try an enter the table directly or by a favourite/bookmark, it will give the error you mention.

My way around that was to enter both towns and/or counties under the one name.
