Somebody had a big thread on part of my family, which I found by Googling.... my GG-grandmother and her mother are both in other people's threads.... which I've not contributed to as I had "nothing of value to add", I knew that stuff (and more), but I'm silently hoping they'll post a gem at some future point :)

Well, the stuff I know they would either already know if they've looked, and/or wouldn't be interested in as it's not really their family.  It's the family of my GG-grandmother's husband/children (his children before they married, with his 1st wife) and their children together .... but then my GG-grandmother did a horrible thing and dumped them all once he'd died.  So there's little interest from others in what she did next (prison + illegitimate children).  I'm from that shady downline :)

Someone on anther forum (not family tree related but where a fair bit of research into other families goes on) mentioned it and I thought it might assist with family research.

I have forgotten how. However I am on it every day and the most remarkable problem of mine was an illegitimate boy whose father was found by RootsChatters and I traced back both mother and father as if nothing unusual happened . Small village of Brandon, Suffolk and the mother left clues in her son's name helped.
