Hello,

Is it me or is this site almost impossible to use. I have been clicking all over the place  for the past 20 minutes and have finally got to somewhere I can type a question. Please tell me in simple terms how to use this site before it drives me batty.

I have some photos (well sort of photos) I would like to be made a bit better does anyone know who can do them for me. They are of my 5 great uncles who served in WW1 all at the same time.

Many thanks

Will

Please take a moment to read the guidance notes at the top of the board before you post.

Thanks

Don't know why I took so long to actually register on this site - I've been browsing it for ages.

The first few times on Rootschat can be a bit daunting for some people. 

In the beginning (2004) it was a lot easier as we didn't have the sheer mass of topics and replies. As of writing we have just under 4 Million postings so we need a structured layout to make it easier to find topics of interest. 

But don't worry about that for the moment, just bear these two points in mind:

1) To start a topic:

• Either go to the board where you wish to post, or,

If you are not sure where best to post, simply go to the Beginners board

• click on the button at the top or bottom of the page, and
  
  
• ask your question

If the moderators feel your topic will get more coverage on a particular board, then they will move it to that board.

2) To reply to any topic,

• just click on the -Button at the beginning or end of any topic

You can find helpful information to most questions in the -Pages.
If you can't find an answer to your question(s) there, just start a new topic on
the "How to use Rootschat" board: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,287.0.html

Rootschatters are generally very friendly and helpful, so don't worry about it, if you feel your contribution is not 100% perfect - we all learnt here "by doing" :)


By the way, we don't have an "official" site-map of the various boards, but here's a good way of finding out what we have:

• Just click on the -Button at the top of every page.
  The search page shows a list of all the available boards and sub- or child-boards.

Enjoy Rootschat :)

Greetings, just signed up and like the look of the forum.
My wife has been working on her family tree for years, but I've never been really interested, but after a trip back to NZ early this year, and talking with my uncle, I realized that I knew very little about my fore bearers. When I got to the old home town I found out I was a descendant of a local identity.
So got to get busy, and see what else I can find out.....
