I'd very much appreciate it if someone could tell me the meaning of the abbreviation 'np' please.

It's written under the Family Relationship section in the records of someone who was transported - and is noted following the names of his family.

The person who kindly found the record has suggested 'no parents' and I'm inclined to agree, but we thought it best to confirm it.

Pels.

Sorry if I'm slow on the uptake and this has been mentioned somewhere else. I knew it was only temporary, but I'd got so used to the format.

Has anyone else noticed their font on RootsChat has altered ??

I use Firefox and never change from Verdana - but when I look at Genuki, Ancestry and all the othere sites, it isn't just on here, it appears to have changed on them all. Which would sound like it's a fault with Firefox - but I haven't touched a thing - it just happened ?

Having said that - if you don't have the same settings as me, it might not show up - I'll post a screen shot of the script.

Pels.

Can anyone remember where the thread is for this family group please ?

I do know at least one person had restored the image and if my memory serves me right, the title might have been altered to say the poster would like the picture to be cleaned as well as dated.

I've been searching for ages ?? Attached is a smaller version of the original.

You are welcome to post 2 or 3 images per week for people to work on - perhaps when one has been completed to your satisfaction, if you could put "COMPLETED" in the topic heading (or ask me to do it), then people will know to move on to the next one.

Cheers

Oh heck, I've just read the above reply to John on the following link :

I know it's written in the rules and etiquette, but I've never been able to understand the need for the addition of the word "Completed" on the Restoration Board, especially when the finished work isn't moved to another designated area.

To be perfectly honest if this is the case .. and people who request a restore follow this guideline, we'll be throwing away more than we actually post. In my case, I most certainly will anyway.

Surely if restorers donate their free time to restoring a picture they should be allowed the time to finish it to the best of their ability, not have to rush it because the poster is placed in the position where they are too embarrassed to accept anymore ?

We all live in different time zones, therefore if I download a picture two hours before I go to bed, work the following day and then on my return see it's either locked or completed, I've wasted the time already spent ?

Compared to some of the brilliant restorers on here, I consider myself a total novice who is still learning with different techniques .. it therefore takes me a lot longer than most to finish a picture. On more than one occasion I've posted my attempt after it's been completed, a great many more have been thrown in the recycle bin. From my point of view it makes me feel terrible when I do, you feel hurt it isn't wanted.

I'd be interested to know whether anyone else feels the same way ??
