Hi Gwen & welcome to Rootschat.

You need to make three postings on the forum before you can PM another member.   Just reply to this a couple of times.

Hi Gwen,

Welcome to RootsChat.

To contact a member, normally folk just click on the reply button at the bottom of the thread this will then notify the member of a new reply. You have started off a new topic which does not know how to notify Stan and I am struggling to find the correct posting that you are trying to correspond on. I searched for Caldwell Hall but only the county of Suffolk is coming up, can you remember how you found the topic in the first place, you may have just put in a name or a place ? Once I can find the topic and can attach your reply for you.

Regards

Sarah
