Excellent stuff, Trystan!

Looked at the stats today and there's been an incredible 700+ new members registered in the last 7 days.

Keep up the good work - and, fellow Rootschatters, don't miss out on any opportunities to spread the word!

cheers

Paul

PS

Great to know how the whole thing came about, too!

And here is a link to the West Midlands Police Federation website, which acknowledges the work of Rootschatters, which was of course picked up on the BBC magazine website:

Great article!  It is a wonderful site!  I felt exactly how Sarah did with alot of American information.  It gets quite frustrating when you want to search "Birmingham" and you keep getting stuff for Alabama!

Thanks so much for bringing your idea to life!
