I joined Rootschat back in 2008/9 and then stopped ancestor hunting for quite a while but have now begun again. I couldn't for the life of me remember my user name or password so have a new 'name'. I didn't want to repeat queries so I have been trawling the site and eventually 'found myself' again. :D

Hi
Welcome Back To RootsChat

Thank you
-
so what's your 'old self' so we can get you merged together?
-
I "find myself" a lot... Whenever I google something in the family tree and a really interesting result comes up, it's almost invariably my own post on Rootschat ::)
-
Yes, I have that - a sudden rush to the heart, that you've found something important, only to find your own old query from time gone by!!!

Welcome back ;D
This is a prime example of how personable this forum really is.
I refereed an American researcher who is looking for her British ancestors only the other day to join rootschat and told her it is not like the impersonal and huge US forums which you post and can wait years for anything let alone a relevant and educated answer or help She came back to me after taking a look and was very impressed........ long may rootschat remain as is :)

This thread reminds me of why I feel so attached to RC. We are a bit like a family, and I have always felt grateful for the day I stumbled upon this site. Welcome back, BattyB, glad your two sides have been reunited! :)

Hi,
Good news that you found yourself!
Even better that you managed to get your two selves to be one again!
I would also love to do that, but don't know how - I used to live abroad and was pwhh;
I now live in the UK again and had to become pwhhh because new email, new address and new computer wouldn't let me login to the old name.
Any help, anyone?
pwhh & pwhhh

Hi there BattyB,
I'm glad that you've found yourself, and now I've found you too!
I notice that you have the North surname at the bottom of your posts. North is my family name, originating in the Chard area of Somerset, and moving to Devon, Cardiff and Warrington, where I am. I wonder if we have any shared ancestors?
-
Hi Rainbow - yes it certainly looks like it. I also noticed you have a name that I am also interested in -JEWELL. Maybe we could compare notes.
-
Well what a coincidence is that? My only link with Jewell is that it's my husband's name, and this is the second time in two days that I have found someone with both names in their family history! I had a message from a Rootschatter who had seen some of my previous posts from a few years ago, in relation to Combe St Nichlolas in Somerset, and they also have Jewells in their family. Mind you, I think Jewell is a fairly common West Country name, and I have been down several wrong branches before now!
-
I have only just found the name Jewell in my family and that is only because I am tracing the female lines (wives) and she dates back to the early 1700's.
The North connection is a little more recent - Elizabeth North my g.grandfather's wife was born 1883 and died 1901 and her family all seemed to come from Devon where most of my ancestors come from. I have traced her 3 generations back.
It's a nice feeling when you actually find something. I live about 4 miles from Combe St Nicholas by the way.
