RootsChat Reference Library - Feedback and Suggestions

[Helen D]

Hi Bob

you're doing a great job - keep up the good work, and you are right - there is often repetition on here because people do not know where to look. The Lexicon is a brilliant resource, and deserves to be up there prominently on the index page.

Presumably these topics would come up if search was used, but the 'search' button is a bit discreet. On a lot of sites when one enters, the search button is the first page one sees. Would it help if search came up first when new people come to the site, to help them get straight to the information they require.

regards

Helen

Hi Jane, MarieC and Helen,

I'm with you (and I think - certainly I hope - that Bob knows this) about what a fantastic resource the LEXICON is!

Which is why I try to do my minuscule bit to suggest additions and to recommend/refer to it.

But you are right that it is a bit hidden away.

Perhaps an upfront FAQ section on RootsChat wouldn't be a bad idea?

Oh Bob, it's so easy for people like me to make suggestions when it's people like you who have to do all the hard work 

Regards to all,

JAP

Hi Bob,

There's only one reference to BCDR Belfast and County Down Railway at the moment but there may well be more in due course. Although there's no mention of them at the moment there are two others ... NITB ... the Northern Ireland Transport Board and UTA ... Ulster Transport Authority

Hi JAP, Jane, MarieC and Helen, and everybody else,

I've now moved the Lexicon to this address: http://surname.rootschat.com/lexicon/index.php 

I'm still working on it, and other improvements will follow.

Enjoy,
Bob

That is so helpful, Bob, thank you. I've put it in Favourites.

Excellent work Bob and thank you, it is proving very useful.

Will it become a link at the bottom of the page like the other roostchat websites?

Hi Bob

Re: Stamp Duty (1783-1794)

There's a useful thread on this subject here:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,278772.0/topicseen.html

Might be worth linking to it in the library of frequency asked questions?
