Genealogy Chat

Gary I was only joking when I replied with moan moan whinge whinge. Debbie

It is not unique to family history or even new. For years I have seen cases where someone has mentioned Bloggs Ltd on USENET then there will be a message from someone asking where they get information on Bloggs Ltd. I sometimes will try <www bloggs com> and up comes Bloggs Ltd's website.

Gary, Don't beat youself to much had it not ben for your kindness and time I would not have my grea grandad on my tree, i later found he was in the 2nd Barnsley Pals. I thank you again for all your hard work. Sue

Hi, Viv Our gas man at work didn't turn up today as arranged and when we phoned we were told he wouldn't be round until 5th August, so he's obviously doing you first.

I know now why I prefer to log on to genesconnected so much. It's Beause I have more laughs off the tips board than watching TV.

Viv I think I knew the response I would get when I put the message on. As you will see from the changed message I promise to be good from now on. As regards the gas man I thought I saw him go past about an hour ago. Should be with you soon. Gary

Gary on that count I do agree with you. People cannot expect others to do research on thier family tree for them. A certain amount of effort must be put in by themselves and search engines can bring up a marvellous amount of resources for Genealogy.

Gary - No problemo !! Graham - I did check Google first !! Terry (Colonial)

Debra - thnak you for the constructive criticism, your comments are always welcome. Terry - you are quite right, my apologies if you felt that this was aimed at you. I forgot about those overseas. Lisa - perfectly willing to help and have done so on many occasions. It just appears that some people are only to keen to get others to do there work for them. A search engine is onen of the first things you use on the Internet. Gary

Gary - I think it must be a 'man thing'. Like you I'm constantly amazed by the very basic of questions being asked, and it's as if once the realms of genealogy are entered, all thoughts of using search engines have gone out of the window (and I don't have a UK atlas either, but I can ask Google). *sigh*. Next thing someone will ask what Google is. Graham

you are very welcome Terry, Kathleen

Gary you have to remember that some people are new to this family searching business and so will ask for help. Not everyone is aware of the websites and will need a little guidance. Another way to put it is if you dont want to help people looking for something that it fairly obvious to you, then dont replt to the messages.

I live overseas and don't possess a UK Atlas. Thanks again Kathleen for the Bottesford info. Terry - Gibraltar

Moan moan winge winge theres always someone.

I have erased my original comments and given myself a good talking to. I promise I will never think again - Oh no not that question. I promise to be nice to everyone all the time. Gary
