AM I NIT PICKING HERE? What do you think.
I and many others troll trawl up and down the Worcestershire message board to see if we can help. If members would be good enough to include the name and location in the title we can pick them up more easily
e.g. "Seeking Beard in Madresfield" or "Jones in Worcester - 1841 census" rather than "I lost my family", "Can any body help me", etc.
As before I do hope I am not out of place making this suggestion again, but it will make life a lot easier for us Trolls Trawlers.
Hey there's a new Rootschat title "Trawlers"

Hi Michael,
I agree with comments about "looking" at boards for something to answer - you need something to catch your eye.
I did not know what a "troll" was but have now done a "google" and see what it means!
I KNOW you did not mean that - you have helped me in the past - please don't resign over such a small matter as a misunderstanding.
Cheers
Keith

I wanted to steer this back to the original theme, but Andrea /Sillgen has already done it ! Thanks !
It is a fact that most searchers need something to cach their eye ....
... some searchers will notice a surname
... some searchers will notice a place
... some will notice the census date ( and place) - "I've got that CD !"
... some will go for an amusing phrase
... some will be turned off by (what to you is) an amusing phrase
but most will get fed up after a while with "looking for Grandma", "1891 census lookup", and other phrases of that ilk.
So please, everyone, without saying "This is how it MUST be done !", please think about your topic titles !
Thanks,
Bob
