You are doing just fine!!! There are now many ads on here in between the important stuff... so harder to focus on what's what as we get older. So just try to focus on the reply button and the posts themselves. I almost quit the site myself, as I have an issue that makes busy visuals all run together...

Yes, we all miss Jeanette as well. Joyful gal. She taught you well, though, and you've found the reply button.

Now you will be in touch with your distant cousin Amanda (username "Girl").
To see her post, scroll down to see the list of numbers in a row...that is the amount of pages on this thread...30. Hit the number 29 as that is the previous page where she replied. To contact her look at the instructions below.
Welcome to the Rootschat site, Girl! If either of you have more questions of researchers on this topic, as Dawn suggested continue on the next thread which was added for more searches. (Link below this paragraph) To speak with each other in private and to exchange email addresses, the personal message prompt is the little icon (denotes a sheet of paper with words on it) beside the little head, below the person's avatar....which is to the left of every reply/post which that person has made. I added an image below with a blue arrow pointing to the private Message ( P.M.) icon. If they are currently online it will be green as shown. The wee house icon between just means a website.
