To find your posts - click your profile, at top of page, and then click show posts. It will bring up your last post and previous posts.
To send a PM (personal message) you need to click on the message icon under the users name (looks a bit like a notepad) type message and hit send.
Glad to help when can, found the marriage for George senior (father of George, who is father of Mary Ellen) which names his father.
Will let you get your head around it all, it can be confusing if unused to family history :)
