This has been the most wonderful thread to follow. It is one of the threads that I showed to the local genealogy computer group here......all senior citizens.....and they were amazed at what had happened. Many of them want to become members of Rootschat now.   :D

They won't find a nicer place to be on the internet!  I look forward to welcoming the new members and perhaps more threads like this - it's been a great story to follow.

Monica,
Next meeting I have been asked to go through the process of membership, logging in and out, profiles and posting with them. Hopefully after that some will have the confidence to join.  :D

And I have to agree that this thread was a perfect example to demonstrate to them the friendliness, thoughtfulness and cooperation of Rootschat members all over the world.

I'm with you on all points there, dee. This is the best run site there is, with some really smashing people. I would recommend it to anyone just starting out.
Later when they have confidence they might try less well run sites, but this is the place to be.
I used to say start with Genes, but that's changed....and you have to pay...Roots is efficient, friendly and FREE.
In a recient survey done by another site, I was asked how good I thought they were, I said fairly good, how much I trusted them...not much.
I trust Roots and the RootsChatters.
