Mother born Bristol?

And now I'm afraid I'm very unimpressed.

How many threads, Graham, and how much of this info has been pointlessly re-"found"?

Thanks for all your threads and apologise if your unimpressed. My original thread was trying to find the age of my granmother for which i had 2 possibilities. several threads later and lots of info leaves me puzzled. I appreciate everyones threads and as i'm new to this way of finding information don't know what i have done wrong.

Manythanks
graham

You weren't to know but nothing gets researchers more frustrated than to find work has been duplicated on a separate thread.
There is a rule, one post per family, for that very reason..
Consider yourself told off !

"several threads later" ????

Read the rules, please.

And show some consideration.

For info:
This that I am composing is "a post".
A new topic posted, on any board (and replies to it), is "a thread".

The thread to which I referred -- I gave the url (link) for it -- is from May, on the Surname board. Not this one. Have there beeen others?

To find any thread you have started or posted in, at any time, click "My threads" over on the left. Continue an existing thread when you have new information; don't start a new one. No one reading any thread has any idea what has gone before it, unless someone who read the previous one happens to read the new one and remember the old one. This means that people will waste their own time and effort doing what has already been done.

Nobody reading one of your threads knows there are others, especially if they were weeks ago on a different board.

I'm hoping he means several replies not several threads !!

sorry Micheal and thanks for the advice. I will read the rules and try to do better next time.

ps. i did mean replies ||||

And I said and meant threads.



You are welcome.

Oh Graham, I have just looked at your other thread, and I (and others) have just spent hours searching for stuff that has already been found. Do you know, some of us have other things to do with our lives? Not only that, we use up credits on other sites to find the information. This DOES cost us money.

Okay, so you don't understand the system. Genes is partly at fault here cos they refuse to put "Stickies" at the top of the boards, i.e permanent messages to advise people. But when you saw us repeating everything that had already been found, did you not think to say, thanks guys, but all this is on my other thread? Maybe not.

Or perhaps when you started this new thread, you should have said Hello folks, this is what has been found already. That would then alert us.

Even if you hadn't got another thread, it makes sense to tell us everything you know up front. How we hate people asking for info and then saying "yes I knew that".

You might feel that Janey is over-critical, and I (and others) have been at the receiving end of her criticism in the past, for not posting full information. When I was a beginner, I thought she was nit-picking, but really it is sensible to give us full information on each thread. And to only have one thread per family.

So now you realise how much time people have wasted, I think you should realise what you have done wrong, you have already apologised, and let's move on with a fresh approach.

Is there anything else that you know that you haven't told us?

Okay, anyone prepared to read my diatribe. Maybe we should stop referring to "threads". The Board actually refers to new "Topics". So perhaps we should be saying "Don't start a new Topic", or perhaps Genes should change their wording to "Thread".

Anyway Graham, we will consider you reprieved if you now give us any information that you already have, and tell us where you got it from.

Go for it!

I have pmd Graham with some advice. He is appreciative of that. Hope you will all come back when he has sorted it out.
