RootsChat is now 1 year old
« on: Friday 31 December 04 23:42 GMT (UK) »


This time 12 months ago the snow was deep here in Lancashire ! Trystan said that we should launch our site "RootsChat"  that we had been working on for over 12 months. I was never quite ready but then you never are !

We have been truly blessed that people were prepared to try the site out and many have become true friends rather than just visitors.

The site is now a community with everyone of you having a say. It is us all coming together that makes it so.

Happy New Year to you all !!!!

Lots of Hugs

Sarah and Trystan  :) ;)

What can I do but agree with what has been said?

A friendly site where I feel that I have actually met some of the people I "talk" to!

Sarah & Trystan set it off but the people who use it make it what it is, brilliant!

Thanks Sarah & Trystan and thanks everyone who uses the site, this is what the WWW was invented for, it shouldn't all be about making millions, helping people is the main priority.

THANKS.
