Family History Beginners Board / Re: how do I post a question ?

Thanks. I take it  that means that "New Topic" is the same a a subject, is the same as a query post? And not starting a whole new Board Topic. Thanks for the reply.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / I need help deciphering a census occupation
« on: Thursday 23 May 24 21:43 BST (UK)  »
I need help deciphering my ggg grandfather's occupation from the England Middlesex 1841 census William Hance, 60. There is another similar looking Occupation word on the opposite page.

Please forward if necessary.
There have been over 400 readings of this thread. The only way I can find to ask my question - same as the subject - is to reply to this. I don't know how to post. Many have the same problem, with no help. To the Query here "How do I post a question?" the answer was to go to the board that covers your query and post it there. This is the same answer that others have received - just go to the Board and Post! How! No Post button! This in no way tells you How To Post! I have spent hours and hours trying to find an answer on How To Post. In my case I go to the topic Handwriting Deciphering etc. Board. All I see there is "New Topic" "New Poll" "Notify" and Mark Read" buttons. I don't want right now to do any of those things, especially not to create a whole new topic.
 I see others have posted elsewhere the same question and always get the same answer - go to a Board and post! But there is no New Post Button. I would love to join in, but really really need some help - and I can't find anywhere to find a person to help (in one place they said look at the bottom for those on-line and ask them. There never is anyone on the Handwriting Deciphering Board at the bottom of any page (I tried all 254 pages}.
If there is no info back on this, my second request is for someone to lead me to someone to ask (looks like there is no way to contact Sara, the moderator). Help please! Jim

Armagh / Re: Davison - Tandragee Church Records

Hi "Flica"
Sorry, we only had 2 hours in the church vault and we really appreciate that. We only focused on Davis and Davison, and did not notice Moody.  Have you tried the askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml   site - we found our ancestors there - once you find them in Griffith's, get the map reference number, and note the townland. Go into the maps, find the right townland, and find the number - that is where your ancestors had land about 1860.
Good luck,
Jim

Armagh / Davison - Tandragee Church Records
« on: Tuesday 16 November 10 15:16 GMT (UK)  »
I have just returned from Tandragee, where I searched the Ballymore Chrurch of Ireland (St. Mark's, Tandragee, Co Armagh) records for my family name Davison (Davis). I now have over 200 names (Baptism/Marriage/Burial entries) which we have not (yet) connected to family lines. Records are from 1783 to the late 1800s. These Davisons could have migrated to neighboring towns, townlands, and counties. Davison family groups have appeared in Portadown/Craigavon, Guiford, Banbridge, Ballymoney, Lisburn and more. Any Davison family researchers who think they may have ancestors  from Tandragee (and the adjoining Tullyhue townland) are welcome to view the records (http://history.davison.ca), and to contact me with family connections.
