Yes, it will be a great help to me; it has so far and will carry on.
I want to trace a family in America and I only have two details; 1) the surname of the family I am looking for and 2) they have a famous family as friends of theirs.
Where can I ask? Do you cover America? Somehow I don't think you do, but any advice will be useful, even if it is to tell me to give up on this one  :D

Very glad to have found this site and I am having more fun every time I log in!   ;)

I cannot resist mentioning the skill of the picture restorers, and the techies, what a brilliant lot they are!  ;D

Had loads of help from the North, and East Anglia who helped me with huge amounts of information!  A very kind lady in the USA sent me whole newpapers with all my family news in. 

What wonderful people they all are! 8)  It restores ones faith in human nature.   :)

The jokes from the Irish section were great fun,  I would never have imagined all those spellings! for my brick walls! :o  Which I still am trying to crack  ???

So, I have had a huge amount of help from Rootschatters, for which I am very grateful!  Best site on the web I think!

I have found Moderators and Rootschatters to be of great help. I had been searching in vain for years trying to locate GG and GGG's
wthout any luck until I found Rootschat and within forty eight hours
got desired results. I am new to using computers and rootchatters have been very kind helping me long the way.

Yes the link to a website detailing what in a birth death and marriage certificate was extremely interesting.
