The Common Room / Split-off from another topic
« on: Monday 13 October 08 15:32 BST (UK)  »
Well looking back on all the postings, I think we all at the end of the day,  want our Hugh Wallis Batch Numbers back don't we??
Surely we are all on the same side?  - aren't we??
 Message from Dava157, "AR or any of the other, more important, Mods.  I wonder whether it is appropriate to lock this thread now?  We all get the point.  Dave".
Well all I can say Dave is that if our lovely Hugh Wallis wants to post elsewhere then he that is his right - free speech and all that.  It really is no good having a tamtrum about it if this man wants to post elsewhere. 
And then we have reply from Arranroots "Dave - we've discussed and decided to leave open for now.  After all, the other site was kind enough to mention Rootschat and we're big enough to take it,  lol!.  Hugh is welcome to return at any time and I can understand his not wanting to duplicate all his replies.  It's just that we're better!"
We are not discussing which sites are better, surely we are discussing the heart of the message - Hugh Wallis Batch Numbers?
Can we all go back to why this message thread started out in the first place - because some of us researchers want the Hugh Wallis Batch Numbers site back, we want to be able to go on his wonderful site, and search for our families.  We really do not want egos, which site is best to post messages on etc. And after this email if I am banned from posting again, then you moderators will really show up your age (and of course egos).
Come on get a grip, we want to carry on researching our family trees!  Jean

Roxburghshire / Afflecks from Scotland
« on: Thursday 09 October 08 15:33 BST (UK)  »
Hi there
I have traced my  Affleck family in Durham  (thorough research - parish records etc which I looked up) - and I have an Andrew Affleck who was born c1760 who I think was probably the first Affleck to travel down and work in Durham - searches show no baps of an Andrew in Durham - he was born c1760.  He was married to an Ann, and his children were born 1788 onwards in Durham.  Andrew was a coal miner in Durham.  Searches at Scotlands people show only two Andrew Afflecks bn Scotland, one near kirk Yetholm who could be one of the Kirk Yetholm gypsy family and the other was born 1762 Edinburgh.  I  can't find another Andrew bn in Scotland around this time, unless of course anyone can tell me differently...... Anyone who can give me any pointers? Best Wishes Jean
