Investing in a young person
« on: Wednesday 26 April 23 06:01 BST (UK) »
A young man aged 18
who has  helped me with computer problems and with practical things like shopping .lifting for past 2 years has shown an interest in family history.

I did some research for his mother and helped  build a  family tree .

He's a big help with my Technophobia
 He is very modest or lacks doesn't value his own skills .

Anyway I've paid for a DNA kit for him and want to create a fund or grant to pay him a few hours every month and for him to learn how to be a Time Travel Detective too.

He joined up on rootschat as Apple+ some numbers last week but his post is still not showing .

Would appreciate any ideas 💡
&
Know the rootschat community will assist him while I'm on holiday

Thanks

I think that Brigid might have been suggesting that his username was Apple plus some numbers ( I.e. something along the lines of Apple123) not that it was Apple+ ?

I've just checked and there are about 10 user names with Apple or apple followed by a number.

Brigid, it might be best to ask him if he remembers what it is and/or message Sarah or a Mod.

Yes that's what I meant .
I did ask him
Wrote the numbers down and have lost them !
I' think he needs to make another post to exist

I told him to add comment  to any of my posts
And once I see his profile I can reply .

I'm in France trying not to use too much roaming data .
Will be with a friend for next few days so should be able to latch on to her WiFi

Thanks for looking out 😊 .
