On trying to update a recent thread to add what i have found and also thank people for their help, the only option i can see is to click on edit.

This of course brings up my original massage. Do i just add my comments to the bottom of this message or what?
Please someone HELP.

Best wishes
Maurice.

You ought to be able to use the 'Add Reply' button at the top of the page on your original thread.

Occasionally, GR 'Pins' a thread so that no more posts can be made, but is usually for threads containing general research guidance etc etc. or one they created themselves.

Can you post the thread address here so we can have a look at it please?
(find the thread, and copy the www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page etc etc from the browser bar at the top of your internet page)

OK - this is the browser address for your Look Up Thread

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/ancestors/thread/1300685

It is a hyperlink which means anyone can click on it and the thread will open in a new browser tab.

The thread address for THIS page is

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/genealogy_chat/thread/1300889

Have a look at the top of your screen and see if you can spot it. Its usually a pale grey colour.

As you haven't managed to add or edit the original, I'll post the link to this page for you on it.
