Think you should have put this on the Northamptonshire board where you might get help !

I split off the Thompson post just as you must have been posting it, Lydart. Have moved to Beginners board for the moment as it may eventually be better on Travelling People board.

Welcome to Rootschat. Once you've made 3 posts you can use PM (Personal Message) system to contact other members (just check that they also have at least 3 posts)- it's explained in the Help pages (click on HELP button at top of page.

Surely your first method of making contact should be a note under the message that you're interested in.You can introduce yourself to the person who you have ancestors in common with(remember not to mention living people)and then after you've made 3 postings you will be able to send PM's(personal messages) to each other.

I have not been active on RC until recently after I retired. It amazes me how many people keep asking the most basic questions. Yes the answer is there in the help file, but I do not think the help file is very user friendly particularly for new users, who want to "get stuck in" as quickly as possible and may not be aware the answer is there in the help file, if only they dig.  I know I have struggled at times to find the information I want

I realize a major overhaul is a big task for volunteers but I really do think it needs doing and if you need any help count me in

I am new to this site and have no idea what I am doing!   I am hoping someone can provide some information on Nicholas Wayman  - born about 1791 in Durham, England.    I am hoping to find any info on his parents.   He married Ann "wayman" - from Stockton Upon Tees - I am hoping to find her maiden name and possibly her parents.

This has also been posted on the Durham  board

Many thanks  Bob.  As a new member I'm finding using the site very daunting and all the hints in this section have been a real help.
Thought this is the best way to try  my first reply. Fingers crossed!
