Hello Lynne I think you are not seeing my messages so I hope you see this !

what you did was send me two private messages, you clicked on my name instead of typing in the box in the thread here

that's okay ..... I answered them !

but you have sent me another one and you haven't read the one I sent you yet ..... so I think you don't know how to do that

look up above in the row of buttons and you see one that says Messages

it has a white envelope on it, this means you have a new message

hold your mouse over the button and a list will appear

click on Inbox in that list

you will see that you have messages with a purple envelope beside them

those are the ones you haven't read, the newest one is at the top so start with the lowest one on the list

then when you read it you just click on Reply underneath to send a message back

just reply to one of my messages to let me know you read them !

hi thanks chrissiex sorry i did answer but on wrong board hope you got at least some of them .i think you are right, i have did as you suggesed and sent away for birth cert they are a bit dear off the place you gave me but to a more extensive search so i think that is better in the long run but they do need dates not volume numbers or pages as would not except them even when i phoned them,great site though i would buy from them any time thanks chrissex carry on the good work

hi chrissiex right i've had a look at messages at the top as you said and no messages on there only the 5 or 6 i've anwered so sorry about you saying i've not answered but i've not recieved them so when hip better i'll get on to genes reunited and ask them wots going on.i will try and explain as best as possible father born leslie l.p.hill (known as leslie lloyd powell-hill) born 14-1-1913 at port talbot, his father william rhys powell-hill so i think that under william r.p.hill but not sure till certs come back.dont know his wifes name yet? my mother olive powell-hill nee godwin born 7-4-1917 in bridgend her father was arthur godwin married elizabeth gravel 1912 in bridgend so all from wales at lest thats a start.a bit of a mystery where my maiden name powell-hill came from unless my grand mother on my dad side was a powell,i do remember my mother saying something about the name being changed before i was born as some part was dying out so thats the only thing i can think of.seems a lot of my fathers brothers and sisters was not registered as cannot find them on here, i tried genes board and not on there either so as i said i'll have to wait till i get my fathers mothers name.thanks a lot ps i got the one above this one lol

hay chrissiex it just dawned on me my hubbys mam's maiden name was jones so if mabel annie jones is my grand mother we may be relations lol

Poor Lynne, we're not cousins, I'm just a nosey stranger, lol

one of many on these boards always ready to try to help out !

so if you do know that your dad's mother was a Jones then it seems pretty likely we've found the right marriage

once you have that certificate we can dig a little farther to try to find where that 'Powell' part came from

it may well be that William's mother and father were Powell and Hill and not married, that wasn't uncommon, but we'll see what the marriage certificate says ... even though it might not be the whole truth, lol

and then you can also let me know privately ... don't worry, we'll sort that part out ... who your dad's brothers and sisters were and I'll see what we can find about that.

hi chrissiex sorry i'm getting you confused again i did mean me and my hubby may be cousins as his mams maiden name was jones,i dont think your noisy either it's nice to have someone you can fall back on on these sites as they can be a bit daughting when you first go on here especially with all the threads and if you dont even know your own grand parent as died when your parents young then you have no one to ask so thanks.the only brothers and sisters i knew was on my dads side was my auntie margret who was maried a few times, she had a daughter called lynne and a son called martin so i knew two cousins,when we did this sort of thing when i was in school about 40yrs now when we did it, then i remember my mother going to the school to tell them how they expected me to do a family history on about 25 aunts and uncles (mixed that is ) seems teacher had a smaller family mine like rabbits lol well we'll just have to wait asnd see wot pops out the wood work ha ha thanks again lynn

oops, that was me not paying attention, wasn't it, lol

I wonder whether all the Joneses in Wales really are cousins !

I think one of my 3xgreat grandfather's sisters married a Jones ....... so you never know ......

well its either jones,davies or smith in wales lol

hi chrissiex just to let you know still waiting for the birth certifiactes i sent of for blimy they take ages on that site (bmd order on line) hope they send me the right one after all this time lol

and just to let you know we see your posts when you add them here, lol !

I think it should only take a few days so cross your fingers ... but don't hold your breath !
