Contacting Garen Ewing

[hictonhunt]

Although I've been a member for a while, I've never posted anything, so I need a bit of handholding! I would like to contact the Rootschat member Garen Ewing as he's running a project about the 2nd Afghan War. I've got some info for his database. How should I proceed?

Hiya,
Welcome to your first post on RootsChat. 

To send Garen Ewing a message, send him a "Personal Message".

Here is a link for you to do that:

If you have any problems with it, please ask and we'll try and help you.

Regards,
Trystan

PS
(If you let me know that you've done that then I'll move this topic over to the "How to Use RootsChat" board in case it helps somebody else too. )

Hi and welcome
Here is his profile
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=22024

Your best bet is to "reply" to one of his posts by going to "show posts".    Otherwise you can reply twice to this and it will activate our personal message system so you can send a private message to make contact.   Click on the letter icon under his name.

Thanks for the replies. I've now realized I need 3 posts for the PM system to work, so I'll do as you say & repeat this!

[hictonhunt]

and again!

I'd 'upped' the number of post that you'd made from "1" (manually) so that you wouldn't have any problems posting to him. 

Let me know if you've managed to send him a PM.

I've managed hopefully to send a PM to him. If he replies, then I'll know he got it.

Richard,

Great stuff - I also sent him a PM with a link to your own profile just in case you didn't manage it.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll move this post to "How to Use RootsChat" now.
