Thanks Rootschat

[patty38]

Found a baptism for an ancestor on another site  which said she was born in Egypt, Hartlepool  okay tried  to find any info result nil, checked rootschat search and bingo, yes it does exist, checked some old maps and yes found it. Thanks rootschat you've come up trumps every time. Wonderful site.
p.s. I found California, Hartlepool  too   
Joking aside must say thanks to all who contribute to this site an absolute mine of information.
Cheers Patty

Patty,

It's brilliant that you've found your Egypt in Hartlepool here on RootsChat. It's pretty amazing how much stuff there is to find on here from all the contributions people have made. It's great to hear of a  successful searches such as yours.

It is amazing and of course one can't forget the original Washington, Co Durham, and there is also a Stockton in California, I know because if it comes up many times when I've forgotten to add "on Tees" to my Stockton.
