Yesterday, Friday 21st, whilst minding my own business at the library, I stumbled upon a course being run as part of Adult Learners week. Family History on the Internet, it was already full or I would have joined to pick up any tips, and stray potential Rootschatters. ;D
As I was unaware of the course I did not have a pile of leaflets with me, but a friendly librarian signed me onto a nearby computer so I could earwig.
When the course ended, and the tutor had departed, I hung around and spread the Rootschat message. So if you met a rather pushy woman at this course and have joined Rootschat as a result, let us know. :D

Hi Anne and Dinkey

Thanks Once again
RootsChat ;)

I also haven't put up any posters but I have recommended Rootschat to all my contacts with a genealogy interest and will continue to do so. I know for sure that three people have registered and I suspect others have or will.
-
I haven't posted an Poster but I have sent an e-mail around the world and know of at least one recipient who has signed up.
-
Hello Topsey,
Blimey, around the world eh :o...
;D

I,m just bumping this up again so our new members see it.
I've added a sig file to my outlook express and Hotmail emails that contain Rootschat URL. It's an ideal way advertise and costs nothing.
If anyone is unsure how to do this just ask on the Technical Board and someone will be more than happy to explain it.

hi all this is my first time here i am trying to learn way around site ;D
-
What I've done - two things:
1. I've spoken enthusiastically about Rootschat to the local University of the Third Age Genealogy Group to which I belong, and I think a couple of people have signed up.
2. I have put a message on my webpage extolling the virtues of Rootschat, as well as the little Rootschat counter Trystan helped me with, so anyone visiting the page will hopefully get the message!

I haven'y got any posters, but have been rabbiting on about rootschat, and this week have had five friends ask me for the website, and have sent it to friends in America, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. I am sure they will be as impressed with it as I am.
:)
-
:) :) :)
Where can I get some posters please - I'm sure my Doc's & Dentist's surgeries, as well as my local library wouldn't mind putting them up.
:) :) :)
-
Have a little look at the first message in this topic for a poster ;)
-
:) :) :)
"Ahhh ! I see it all now" - said the blind man
Thanks Trystan - will carry on the good work !

I am a member of a MyFamily.com Admins Site (USA) which has over 1200 members, some in NZ, Aust, UK, Canada, Turkey and other places and I have told all of them to join RootsChat.com ~~ Also, I have told all my members in my Alumni / Friends Site (a worldwide Site) about it and asked everyone to join.
I also have three Genealogy 'Private' Sites in MyFamily.com and told all members to join, About 90 of them. So that should most certainly spread the good word.
How about that ?
Good work Admin. Bill.
-
Someone here in RootsChat directed me to Genes Reunited for my Crowhurst line (thanks, has been very helpful!) and I have told everyone in there who has contacted me about my tree to try RootsChat ... some have since made major breakthroughs thanks to helpful chatters in here!
;D Janine

I have advised our local family history group, the Queensland Family History Society, of Rootschat.
You may wish to check out their two very positive responses by going to the following website:
www.qfhs.org.au
Once in the site go to "Happenings"
then down to "Snippets"
Firstly check out Item 28 in the May 2005 Snippets newsletter and then
Check Item 27 in the June 2005 newsletter
They were very impressed with the site and so they should be.
GREAT WORK !!!!!

Will be posting it at the Genealogy displays at the descendants reunion for the families of Red River Settlers in the fur trade era... August 2005. The event is to be held in Manitoba, Canada... It will attract people from all over Canada and the U.S. ...We even have a couple coming from the Netherlands! Many of the original settlers were from Scotland...(many from the Orkneys), and England & Ireland as well.
Those at the reunion who want to go right back to u.K. / Irish roots will be thrilled to be armed with rootschat!
Here's the link, if I may tout the event....http://www.redriverdescendantsreunion.org/
I have also added a link to rootschat onto the website above, on the Genealogy page!!!! It's a popular site, so if you want to post a welcome to Red River Descendants...I am sure many will come in following my link.... It deserves the popularity

If you are going to a library or records office ask if you can leave one on a notice board or a pile if they have a leaflet stand/table.
All the best,
Pam

I'll see about putting one on the company Intranet, one of the largest in the UK.
If they let me, they don't like commercial things going on, but this isn't commercial.
it's a very large company all over the UK

i havn't posted any posters,
but i take my family history research everywhere. whenever anyone asks me about it i always mention rootschat. have got 4-5 of my friend addicted as well. they see my tree with hundreds of names and have to know where i got my info from. I live in Australia and many people think you HAVE to be in england to research family history.
"with a lot of help from rootschat" i say...
thanks rootschat and all the wonderful people here.

I'm going to put some leaflets out at my local Family History Centre, Local Library and my Local History Library. Just last Tuesday I was telling two people about the site, and they were suitably impressed about the 1901 Census part of the site. This was while I was looking at some microfiche lol.

oops, I always forget to check the date of the last post. Oh well, hope no-one minds.
I'll check that out.

It's a good thing to revive older threads like this - there will be plenty of new members who haven't come across RootsChat posters.
Monica
-
I might print some out myself,There has been a lot more interest in genealogy since my first lot went out in 04?
celia
-
Interesting to note that a lot of the "originals" who took posters etc. don't seem to be particularly active on Rootschat. Perhaps they found what they were looking for, or perhaps they are too busy with other things.
Liz
-
Yes, I was interested in that too, Liz! ::)
I think I'll be active here till they take me off in a box! There is always more to find out about family, and if you are stuck on your lot, there are other people to talk to and try to help... Neverending source of pleasure!
