Find Ancestors

I had a good one last night.

Posted a lot of info on thread and then got a pm asking for another census lookup for the same family - posted that - then got another pm.

Still not had any thank you.

I also do lookups for the thrill of the chase.

I dont know where I would have gotten with out the help of people on here. I only renewed because people are so helpful. Sometime on an evening if I have asked for help and then have gone to bed I try and come on the next day to re check and say thanks..I only hope the people who have helped me see my message back at the top and read it to see my Thankyou,

rachel there is a button to the left of the screen which says My Threads. if you click on that you can check all the threads you've posted and also contributed to.

I too help others in their searches 'cos I love the "hunt" and the feeling of achievement when I find something.


I don't want great effusive thanks or, heaven forfend, payment ........ but a simple acknowledgement that the person has at the very least SEEN the information.


It's a wonderful feeling when you have broken down someone's brick wall, and found "stuff" for them!

Think this needs a nudge up the board


Maureen

Another nudge

Hi mary
I am new to this and have not asked you for help. However I was thrilled to find this and think it is so kind of people to offer help. Please do keep helping people as I am going to be asking for help if I see anyone who can help me. And will ensure that I will thank everyone

Hi Mary,

Just read your thread and agree totally, also I've noticied that some respond to 1 person and not others.

When I find myself staring at a brick wall (which is every day now) I try to utilise my time, experiance and resources to help others and I do feel (sometimes) that I am wasting all of it. However this is offset by succesfully helping someone who does show some apreciation. What bugs me even more is somebody asking for help without giving you the least bit of information to go on ie.

"Anybody got any information on my Smith family?"

Grrrr!

Some people you just can't help

here's a good one for you

request and question.


No response!

Just to add my bit.

1) thank you - sometimes a person will pm me especially to say thank you & it won't come up on their thread. So a thread with no thank you doesn't necessarily mean they haven't acknowledged.

2) Not understanding how threads work - I find this one a doozey. You only have to read the boards for a couple of days to find out how the threads work. What is it with people that they can't even do that? It's not rocket science!

Ozi.
