I love research, regardless of who it's for and I think it's great when thanks are given for your contribution.

Tess I will make a point of reading it more often now

Well done Ann it's good someone appreciates your efforts. X

Researching:
Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

today I received this lovely message from someone I helped - makes it all worthwhile :-)


Many thanks for your help in tracking my Carter family, I think I have found the family just need to confirm some details with some certs and at the LMA. one question what made you look at Carbert for Carter in 1891. I would not have done so.
again Many Thanks.

I hardly ever look at the Success Stories board. To be honest I usually forget it's there. I looked just now and it was great to see thanks expressed to named members who help others with their research. It helps to makes up for all the work that is often done without any acknowledgement from the poster
