Massive THANK YOU to Trystan and Sarah for setting up this site. I too had no idea it was so young.

I work in IT and recommend your site to all our students who are interested in researching their family tree.  The site has been a tremendous help to me, and I have enjoyed all the forums.

WELL DONE AND HAPPY NEW YEARSue B

I'd often wondered how and when Rootschat started up!  Thanks, Bob, for letting us know!! ;D  ;D

Like everyone else, I don't know what I would do without this site.  A huge thank you to Trystan and Sarah and the mods, and massive congratulations, and Happy Birthday, Rootschat!

Long may you grow and prosper!

Happy Birthday Rootschat   :D

Rootschat has helped me :- 

a)Find "Cousins" who have given me other branches of my trees

b)Found relatives who had photo's that I didn't even know existed!

c)Helped me not to smoke during the past year

d)Find people who would kindly do lookups for me

e)Make friends through offering grave lookups for others

So Many Happy Returns Rootschat and a Happy New Year 2006 to everyone

Congratulations and enormous thanks to Sarah and Trystan.  How you do it I don't know - but it's marvellous.

Happy 2nd Birthday to the good ship RootsChat, to its co-captains and its crew, and to all who sail in her.

A very big thank-you to the owners and the moderators for the way they manage to keep RootsChat such a very happy and good-natured site.

And a big thank-you to my fellow RootsChatters for much happy RootsChat over the past year.

Less than three-quarters of an hour of 2005 left here where I am!

Happy New Year  :D  :D  :D and here's to more fun and genealogical puzzles in 2006!
