General Chat

HI MARGIE,


THIS BOARD WILL HELP YOU GET TO KNOW PEOPLE WHO WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH OR BE SUPPORTIVE AND YOU CAN COME ON HERE ANYTIME AND HAVE A MOAN OR POST A QUERY ABOUT LIFE IN GENERAL.

MY FIRST POST IN 2005 WAS TO ASK FOR ADVICE ON MEMORY FOAM MATTRESSES AS MY PARTNER AND I NEEDED A NEW BED. IT STARTED THE BALL ROLLING AND I HAVE MADE SOME LOVELY PALS HERE, AND EVEN MET SOME OF THEM WHEN MEETS ARE ARRANGED - IT GIVES AN EXCUSE TO GO AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS AND SEE THE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE LOL

I HOPE THE TESTS BEING DONE WILL HELP CLARIFY PROBLEMS SO YOU CAN GET THE RIGHT TREATMENT. LOTS OF US HAVE VARIOUS AILMENTS, SOME MORE SERIOUS THAN OTHERS, AND SOME PEOPLE ARE ALMOST HOUSEBOUND OR CAN'T GET ABOUT TOO WELL SO YOU WILL FIND KINDRED SPIRITS.

THERE IS A DEPRESSION THREAD AS WELL WHERE YOU CAN 'TALK' TO OTHERS WHO HAVE DEPRESSION/ANXIETY AND SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I HAVE OCD AND AM A HOARDER, IT CAUSES LOTS OF DIFFICULTY IN MY LIFE AND IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO GET ANY TREATMENT IN MY AREA (NORFOLK)
I WILL NUDGE THE DEPRESSION THREAD FOR YOU.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK WITH THE FAMILY TREE

LIZx

THEY SHOULD HAVE AN OPEN CHAT ROOM WHERE WE COULD ALL CHAT TOGETHER AS A GROUP.THERE IS NO DECENT OPEN CHAT ROOMS THESE DAYS .
I WOULD LOVE A FEW FRIENDS TO TALK TO AS I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH AND LIVE A LONELY LIFE . MY POOR HEALTH STRESSES ME OUT AND I SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY/PANIC ATTACKS.
WAITING TO HAVE A BIOPSY DONE ON MY THYROID AND ON A LUMP ON MY NECK.KIDNEYS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AS THEY SHOULD AND I PASS OUT WITH NO NOTICE(HURT MYSELF BAD THE LAST TIME).
DOING THE FAMILY TREE GIVES ME SOME ENJOYMENT AND HELPS GET MY MIND OFF MY PAIN FOR A BIT..
THIS IS A GREAT SITE AND I APPRECIATE THE INFO AS WELL AS THE WELCOME TO IT. THANKS
PS: MY NAME IS (MARGIE ) MY DAD IS THOMAS.

Hi Thomas welcome to the boards.

If you just want to chat on here click on General Chat choose a topic you like and off you go. Type your comments in the panel at the end of the thread and then click on Submit to add them to the thread.

If you are looking for ancestors then follow Tessa's advice and go to the Find Ancestors board and put everything you know about the person you are trying to find. What is quite important is once you have made a request for help keeping checking the thread regularly to see what has been found and to answer, if you can, any questions that have been asked.

Welcome to the boards , dont worry there are lots of lovely people to help you and guide you along on your search......... :-)

Welcome to the boards and the best of luck with your research

Richard, you need to post on the "Find Ancestors" Board.

Give what details you DO have. i.e. Grandmothers name, approx. year area of birth if known.

Very friendly and helpful people will then give advice.

To get further on in your search you will need to send for various Birth, Marriage and death certs. (usually only one at a time).

They cost £9.25 each including postage.

But first tell us what you do know, and please expect to be asked questions about the info you give, added details are sometimes needed so that people can give the correct help and advice.


Good luck.

I HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW TO CHAT WITH OTHERS HERE . CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME .
I HOPE TO FIND MY GRANDMOTHERS PARENTS BUT NOT MUCH TO GO ON .
