Wish someone else was searching for...
« on: Thursday 07 July 05 18:07 BST (UK) »
Oh, how alone I feel in my search for my Sourbutts and Beddall ancestors!
On the surname interests page there's only little 'ol me. :'(
Anyone else feeling all alone?

Poor you,Matty. Must be like the proverbial needle in a haystack!

Hello Carol,

Like Joe, I don't want you to feel alone,  :(

Know how you feel though - nobody else searching for Families Giddey and Malyon - yet

Thank you Matty Joe and Margaret.
Feeling a bit more fed up today but nothing to do with rootdigging. Have just come across a nasty traffic accident and being one of the first on the scene, stopped to help.
No details but I feel really quite shakey now. Must say though that after I called 999 the police were there within minutes- sometimes they're there when you need them.Didn't stay until ambulance arrived as was told 'You can go now' by police , but only hope it wasn't too long. Can't get the image of the poor car driver out of my head.

Carol,

I am glad you are feeling better now.  I must add that not only am I researching Smiths (on my own??) but McNutts and I am glad to say that I have the help of Galena in Canada  and between us we have done well, also the pleasure of finding a long lost relative ;D ;D- it was she who put me in touch with rootschat a year ago.

Hi Carol,

A similar thing happpend to me a few years ago we were driving on a quiet country road in Australia, (won't go into the details), but we were first on the scene also.

Two other cars stopped to help almost immediately - Two doctors and two registered nurses, out of a total of five people!  I remember thinking that someone was looking after these people.

Carol - just being there and taking action was the important thing.

Matty - How wonderful to have found someone to share your research with plus the added bonus of finding rootschat. 8)  I hope you find some Smith relatives too.

margaret :)
