Rootschatters: take a bow!
« on: Saturday 22 January 05 00:33 GMT (UK) »
Generous with their knowledge
Generous with their time
The help they give to those in need
Is really quite sublime

From looking up a census
To decyphering a script
The friendly folk at Rootschat
Won't let themselves be whipped

The font of all their wisdom
Can be drunk from by those new
To all aspects of genealogy
Thanks to those diligent few

So 'hats off' to all Rootschatters
For every helping hand
You've prevented many a stumble
In the past - that foreign land

Paul,

Wow,  what a lovely thing to do,  write a Rootschatters poem.

I am blushing now.  ;D

Brilliant poem, I was going to write in to thank everyone for their help since I found Rootschat at Christmas. But that poem says it all, so thanks everyone from tidgie.
