Hi Lil,

Quote from: Lil
I'll be able to use it in the right context now.

And as far as the RootsChat context goes, just remember that we are UK based  :)

So the Immigrants Board is for ancestors and relatives coming TO the UK from other countries

and the Emigrants Board is for ancestors and relatives going FROM the UK to other countries

Bob

Ahhh! That explains a few things.
I've posted on the wrong board or at least used the wrong word
Thanx for that tip

so people are both....it's just whether or not you are in the "home" country or the new country as to what you call them  ;D ;D

I have always wondered why immigrant get's two m's and emigrant only gets one...hardly seems fair  :P :P  but then that would be a different question wouldn't it???

no disrespect meant to your very good question lil growler.

dollylee

No offense taken dollylee
Your probably not the only one to wonder about the M's but an opportunity allowed you to do so. All is good.
