Lancashire / Redevelopment of Chester Square / Old Street Ashton-under-Lyne
« on: Saturday 26 February 05 21:40 GMT (UK)  »
I have just heard that the buildings on Chester Square which then turns into Old Street lower down, are due to be re-developed very shortly.

If anyone is interested in this area of Ashton I am willing to take any photographs before the buildings are demolished, or Ashton in general.

The Lighter Side / Radio 4 "Bounty Hunters" ??
« on: Thursday 20 January 05 22:01 GMT (UK)  »


Hi'ya  :D

Did anyone catch a programme on BBC Radio 4 earlier today about so called Genealogy Bounty Hunters ?

It seems there is a website (not known) which solicitors publish details of wills, complete with a list of those who are to inherit that they are trying to track down.

It told a story of a brother and sister who had a knock on the door, told their Mother who they had not seen for 30 years had died and in order to receive the inheritance they would have to sign about 30% of the inheritance away !!!! Out of shock the poor girl signed  :(

In one case after "costs" the lady in question only received a third of the original total.  :( :(

The Lighter Side / RootsChat is now 1 year old
« on: Friday 31 December 04 23:42 GMT (UK)  »


This time 12 months ago the snow was deep here in Lancashire ! Trystan said that we should launch our site "RootsChat"  that we had been working on for over 12 months. I was never quite ready but then you never are !

We have been truly blessed that people were prepared to try the site out and many have become true friends rather than just visitors.

The site is now a community with everyone of you having a say. It is us all coming together that makes it so.

Happy New Year to you all !!!!

Lots of Hugs

Sarah and Trystan  :) ;)

The Common Room / Who do you think you are ? Vic Reeves
« on: Tuesday 14 December 04 20:47 GMT (UK)  »
Tonight I think is the last episode of Who do you think you are,  BBC 2 at 9.00pm tonight. (not long to go....)

Tonight we join Vic Reeves who looks at a possible Bigamist in his family History.


I know we have all had a chuckle on how the research side is glossed  ::) over a little but I for one am pleased that we have had the chance to look at some very interesting family trees.

Sarah :)
