How did you find Rootschat?

[MisterC]

I came across RootsChat more or less by accident  . I was trying to determine if "Montcrieff" as a given name was male/female/either as I have two Montcrieff's in a genealogy tree, both with the same birthdate and parents. Logic says they cant both be correct

Searching the net a few years ago. I come and go, as my health allows.

I have been with Rootschat since 2005 but I have a feeling I registered prior to that recommended by a woman  who I met in London at the archives in Northampton Street, we became very good friends but sadly she isn't able to use her computer now due to ill health.

It is both  compelling and rewarding being able to help and also ask for help ourselves, it amazes me how much people know about family history and genealogy, I have been at this lark for over 20 years and it never ceases to amaze me as to how helpful people are and of course I offer my help when I can

Everyone likes a challenge and that is what Rootschat is

Happy Hunting

I never heard of Rootschat before. I tried some time ago to see what info is available online about my ancestry, but I discovered my surname "Hastings" returns so many results that it was no use at all. I did find one pay site that sending me unsolicited advertising, and that put me off immediately.

Recently I learned however that my grandfather's name was originally something other than Hastings, and so I tried entering both those surnames into a search engine (not Google) and Rootschat was 3rd or 4th on the list of hits.

Registered in 2006. When the old BBC family tree forum clamped down on idle chit chat that was clogging up the BBC computer. So someone recommended the chat site on here and have used it ever since
