Dear Researchers.
You are the greatest help I have come across for this brick wall Ive had, and looks like others have had too. (Esdesl for example).
I too was having a bit of a hard time desciphering all the different posts and which Thomas is the right Thomas. Sometimes too much info is hard to work out. I appreciate the 2 hours Esdel has put in to summarize the facts we have so far. That helped me alot.
I must have read and re read this post a hundred times, and Ive written down all the info found by you wonderful researchers. And the sources too where possible.
I do appreciate ANY and ALL monies spent by those who have helped with this family research. I really wish we had free access to all these sources and records, but I suppose everyone wants to make a buck ...as they say. But incase it has gone unsaid...BIG THANKYOU Flst and Steve.!! You are both VERY kind.
Also Monica,...Your input into this thread has been a God send to me, but Im picking up on a "tone" in your last post. Im sorry if there is more than one thread on Sir Thomas Bouch and his family. I have only just discovered this site and am still discovering the threads here. I personally am a single parent doing my best with the little I have, so every penny someone has helped me with on this research is most definitely, well recieved...and very gratefully recieved. As I have offered, Im along way away "down under", but the internet does make the distance less, and if I can help anyone by looking up any records here in Australia, I am more than willing and most happy to do so.
Please dont be too hard on Esdel, they were just trying to do what Ive been trying to do for the past few days. Summarize what we have learnt so far.
And Esdel, I too am most impressed with the professionalsim and the expertise that the researchers here have. The wonderful researchers have found in a few days what I have had as a brick wall for a long time. So Im MOST impressed. Thankyou all very much for your time, your time, and your time. Time is money these days, and your help has shown me that there still are those special people left int he world. You are wonderful people and you are MOST appreciated.
And Monica, thankyou for your time too. Please dont feel cranky at me or Esdel, I may not be quite as smart or intelligent so I do get confused with so much info. If maybe you could do a really quick summary for me,...and Esdel,...then that might help both of us fathom through so much info and so many possible parents. I am a little confused right now, as to which Thomas is the right Thomas. And which is the line to keep following. And as always, your input is very much appreciated.
Thanks again everyone for your help here. Sorry if Im a little dense, and am now a little confused, but if someone could look at what Esdel has summarized, and see if that is what I should be continuing my research on, that will certainly steer me...and Esdel ...in the right direction.
Merry Christmas to you all, and I hope you all have a truly wonderful Christmas.
Hopefully not snowed in.
Thanks again everyone.
