Just checked and found that I registered on Rootschat in June 2009! As with a lot of others, I found it by accident when searching via Mr Google!
Similar to everyone else, I have found Rootschatters to be amazingly helpful in all respects, including photo restorations, and that's been a wonderful experience. Like a lot of people it took me a while to feel confident to pop my head into the TOT boards, but was made to feel very welcome! I also discovered that there were people in TOT who are as crazy as me, but at the same time intelligent, respectful, friendly, helpful & very kind, and are a pack of nutters! Luvya all heaps, and huge respect and thanks to Trystan and Sarah for establishing what I feel is the best Genealogy forum on the net, (also the best social media)! 💞💞👍👍🌹🌹🌹

Sorry I forgot to say that when on a trip to England I met up with 2 RC members. WILLSY, who had be been really helpful with a Scavenger Hunt on here! I met her for lunch, I think in Mansfield, and we had a great time talking FH over a lovely lunch in umm... Weatherspoons I think it was called!
I also visited the Mansfield Library, (where I had arranged my visit from NZ)' and I was able to view and take photographs of the original paintings they held by local Mansfield Artist Ann (Dawn) Paulson, who married into my Paulson/Dunnill family. Most of the paintings were a bit damaged with age, but I was able to have some of those beautifully restored by the incredible RC Photo Restoration!
I also met up with JOSIE, another RC member! She took me all around Mansfield, went to all sorts of places a bit further away, some relative to Lord Byron, and others relative to where some of my Dawn/Paulson/Dunnill Families. I can't recall the exact itinerary, but it was an amazing experience!
WILLSY & JOSIE, if you are reading this, I have never forgotten the wonderful times I had in your company, and how you were both so kind and generous with your presence and your time! Thank you! And huge thanks again to the amazing Rootschat Photo Restorer Team, you are all stars. 🌟🌟🌟
Right - now I'm about to watch "Vanity Fair" film on TVNZ - with the great Martin Clunes!
G'Night all! sweet dreams!.
