Glad it went well at your end! Good idea to get your students to put that prefix on their posts.
For the benefit of you or anyone else who do something similar in the future it's worth reminding participants to post an enquiry in one place only. I think I was one of three people pursuing the same family independently off three different threads. Given the circumstances I'm not complaining, but your students might have got more out of it if all the relevant info was on one single thread.
There's probably some loose ends on some of the threads posted by your students - will they or someone else be looking in to pick up any further responses? If so, is it worth us checking out any further info to square the circle?
Now will this lead to a leap in RootsChat membership, upsetting the betting on the 40,000th Rootschatter?
