Could give it a try Frank if you have some missing rellies,you of all people could do with getting some of your "spent on other people credits" back.
I have no one I want to look up or I would try it....sobs...

Of Course Frank, you and I (and all the others who have spent hundreds on SP) know that it is only births after 1909, marriages 1934 and deaths after 1959 that can't be viewed online!

Well Sylvia was told she would get free SP if she became a Starry one on Clinic along with all other Brightsolid stuff,so I think it may well be true.

Aha! I had seen that reply on the Clinic and I was just about to ask an SP question of my own (actually, several related), so I was busy compiling that, and then I see this thread -- so I just hope I got in ahead of the rush!

Yes, as I understand it, the advisors do have all regular SP access (i.e. except the recent ones excluded from online access).

My questions are from 1800-1860, so I think they qualify.

I've only got one, possibly Scottish, query which I have posted in the clinic. Hopefully they'll find something for me!

Good luck all and please keep this going for me as I have to sign out now but would hate for folks to miss such a generous offer from Genesreunited.
Farewell for now.

yes, I was indeed told that I would have free credits on SP for the duration of my tenure as an Official Helper.


Shirley's reply was quite correct in explaining to someone how SP worked, BUT she should have added "post some of the names on here and we will see if we can help you."


That would have been much better.



I'm debating whether they will really be able to help me though

....... Frank you gave me my sis-i-l's birth and her siblings some time ago


but do you think they would be able to find anything else as she doesn't know where they came for before Greenock?

Frank 06 ... I just got it. My questions would be related ... urgh.

If you're 06 and I'm related to 007 (which of course I am!), does that make you my 13th cousin once removed?

Whats the 'CLINIC'...?????

SylviaInCanada

SylviaInCanada Report 22 Nov 2010 05:10

The new board

HELP CLINIC


look above the listing of Commmunity Boards on the left of your screen

Big white star, with NEW across it and Help Clinic by the side


Click on the Star


Only about 6 helpers on there, volunteered themselves to help, given yellow stars

they can use GR, fmp and Scotlands People to answer requests.


may as well get some free help on SP while you can!

Well James,that smacks of racism to me,why can not the rest of GB get the same deal,or in fact overseas people I wonder..?
Just because I live in Wales does not mean I may not have Scots ancestry in my lines somewhere!

No wonder you cant understand them if they come from Merthyr James,all that coal dust still stuck in their throats from the mines..!
Now the beautiful farming smells of Carmarthenshire is a different matter.
I understand Scots accent ,married a Glaswegian many years ago,but I sent him back as a bad buy ..;)
Got myself a nice Welsh model instead..

Well, I had my post on the help clinic for 9 hours and no acknowlegement/help whatsoever.
Finally added to TTF board & WayneTracey very kindly looked the details up for me using her own credits.
