Argyllgran+ rootgatherer have ben absolutely brilliant these last few days coming up with censuses including 1930 USA how is that possible ? + BMD +army records that i wouldn't have knownwhere tostart looking for ; Love argyllgran's personal touches + asides too .

appreciation of Root gatherer who can point out mistakes without appearing critical and who has found vital information from new Zealand for me .
Also appreciations of all members who share trees or documents with others + do not always receive thanks for their kindness .

nudgimg this thread ;
reading some recent posts I continue to be impressed.
.

how Rootgatherer comes up so quickly with the relevant censuses .

how argyllgran leaves lovely comments wihen giving info ..often putting things in a social context

+ how de=tective finds some really obscure stuff

will mention other, friendly, helpful , amazing people on this site in future

I would like to express my appreciation for all the kindness I have received, not to mention some other, quite undeserved, support which is still carefully tucked awayfor a special occasion.

Thank you to everybody who has given me support in any way, I really do appreciate it.

A particular thank you to Gwyn who came to the funeral.

Thanks to those who gave me information about Russian naming systems ;the Patronym is proving useful in identifying potential brothers .
+ for suggestions about possible anglicisms of Jewish names ; the siblings i'm investigated often had at least 3 versions of their first name from when they were in russian latvia ,,jewish school in manchester , church school in Birkenhead ,on the boat to USA and as adult Americans . Usually the initial remains same but not always ..
With my scots ancestors it's also useful to know that Polly was Mary ,Peggy was margaret +britih Charlotte became Lottie .

I can't begin to list all the people who have selflessly helped me with my research over the past 10 years but it doesn't stop there!

Countless members, still on GR and departed, have given me so much support personally during times of tragedy and ill health without seeking recognition.

They all know who they are....so a massive THANK YOU from me and members of my family they have also helped.

I must sincerely thank POTTY who way back in 2013 advised me to look at Ancestry where I found a connection to Cousins I was looking for and as a result I was able to link 2 sections of my extended Family who did not know the other existed.

Thank you Potty.

Thank you, Robert! Like lots of the other helpers on here, I really enjoy the searching and the thrill when I find something that helps somebody go forward.

I also thank those who search for our elusive ancestors. They are many. and from the bottom of my heart I thank all of them. <3

Potty helped me too on somemilitary info a couple of years ago .

I know many members are v.helpful .I just think naming + giving specific examples is polite and shows how others can make the site better by copying our "stars" . sometimes random remarks leasd to major discoveries + members don't even realised that they have contributed ..
