Definately yes when descendants and distant relatives find you .....
my 2nd cousin once removed, a descendant of Captain Thomas's Lees son, found me on here (Rootschat)and we are now in regular contact and it appears that there is himself a Grandson of Thomas's first Son, my mother Grand daughter of Thomas's second son and also another lady who he has written to who is the Granddaughter of Thomas's daughter all still alive, we are hoping to organise a meet between them

A resounding yes!!!! I only joined in the last couple of weeks after finding the site by accident. Thought I'd give a whirl. Quelle surprise!!! Within a couple of hours I had received a number of extremely helpful replies and confirmed a couple of threads from same.
It's great to find people who are ready and willing to help someone they don't know.
I'll be using it again and again and again and.............
Cheers everyone!

Just come back to this thread after a long time 
I'm puzzled by the 2 who think that Roots won't be of any help and wonder why they think that

The past is a foreign country, how can we go there

I can't begin to say how much RC has helped me - it has been amazing and i can't thank the people who have helped me enough.
I am thoroughly looking forward to the day when my skills improve so i can repay the debt.
Happy New Year everyone - we have the best, most rewarding hobby there is.

WELCOME to all the newbies.
Absolutely !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This has to be the friendliest, most helpful and funniest Group !!!!!! When you get tired of the brickwalls, there are lots of funny threads to read. Makes my day.
And to think I came across this site quite by accident whilst doing research for my book  . I read and read and read and couldn't drag myself away. I was well and truly hooked. As soon as I started posting messages, I had the most wonderful response and the help was unbelievable. I don't have to tell you that my book was pushed aside . I have made the most amazing friends and have found a number of cousins too. I LOVE Rootschat.com. It's my home !!!

Gadget, I can only guess that they must have "dicky fingers" and clicked the wrong button.

I'm always surprised by the number of people you can see online (at the bottom of the front page) who, if you click their names, you find have never made any posts, even if they have joined some time back ?
There's some online right now whose names I've seen quite often ! Do they just join to read; if so, thats OK, but you do wonder ...
