I've been pointed in the direction of this thread.

The first thing I must say is that I haven't paid Brigid to do this!! I am dead chuffed, but a bit embarrassed too - sitting here blushing. But I do have to say that there were quite a few people who helped on the Fellman threads, not just me.

I don't help people on the boards to get praise or thanks (although appreciation is nice), I do it because I love the research and I've also learned a lot from the many other helpers along the way.

In this instance, I'll say nowt about editing ;-)

Thank you <3

Morning Brigid - I have also been helped by many individuals on here with my family research, too many to mention, but suffice to say if it was not for their assistance my family tree would be miniscule compared to the size it is now, I will always be full pf admiration & praise for those on here who give their time freely to help others <3

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Marie-celeste my heroine (on all mine +alisouns threads); not only does she find amazing details ;but words her findings careful enough for GR virgins.
But when we got protocol wrong she "tells us off" in a the most diplomatic ,positive way encouraging improved etiquette without critisism .

she reckons she does tell people where to go sometimes but I haven't come across any examples of this ; + I loved our chat about "artistic" postcards of 1906 or was that jax ??
Haven't reread that 1 for a while .

I'll be sending off my finished article about finding nana's Russian birth father

EDIT Dec 2014 ; research kept expanding this article into a 2-parter

part 1 ""Finding Mr Fellman" nearly ready

I would like to include a link to my thread on GR if admin + all contributary members give permission

;so if you contributed to my George J.Fellman search in any way ; you may want to edit yr wording +/or delete non-contributary posts such as "oh you've already got that ;"

Am looking forward to a M-C style right rollicking about encouraging editing .LOL
I understand her disapproval of editing posts.
But some of my insomniacal postings + dyslexically,verbosely, unpunctuated, incomprehensible sentences need editing from time to time

LONG LIVE THE DUCHESSE OT THE Geanealogy Wizards .!

Take time to appreciate the people who have helped you on GR

many people have found out so many things + gone beyond the call of duty in my quests ;

i'm only posting about 1 for now + feel confident that there will be posts about my other particular helpers .
