As per my previous post, I would underline that I didn't know what I was doing when I first stumbled into the chatroom.  It was a case of joining RC and thinking "Hmm, I wonder what this button does..." and suddenly all these people were greeting me, and I was wondering what to do next.  But everyone was most patient with me and like JackieQLD, I really enjoy the immediacy of the response to my queries, as well as the good humour.

I've found members in the chatroom extremely helpful.  All you need to do is to go in there and ask if anyone can help, and you'll be inundated with offers.  The other night they solved a brick wall for me that I'd spent hours trying to get through; they gave me all the necessary leads I needed within a few minutes, plus advice on what to do next.

Yes, people do chat on there, and very nice it is too.  Admittedly  it is a bit daunting at first - I was stunned when they all started 'saying' hello to me the first time I entered - but I think the chatroom is great fun, as well as a valuable resource.  Many thanks to all the brilliant researchers on there who do so much to help others' searches.

Sad that her husband died; or not, depending on the nature of the relationship, I suppose.  From the record, I can hardly visualise them sitting by the fire, he with his pipe, her with her knitting, and a nice pot of tea on the hob.

But at least we don't need to worry that she might have gone off the rails after his death, can we!!!  If you find out any more about here, I'd be really interested to hear from you.

Hi Minnie
I've tried downloading it & enlarging it, but the resolution is so bad that I can't get it into focus, sorry.
