Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 674 Send Message	Everyone is so nice on here! Thanks to Mowtown Gal, PricklyHolly,Dizzi, Maryanna and AnnCardiff - I already feel at home and yes Ann.... I think I will fit in nicely (quite silly when I want to be) PricklyHolly .... Sending you my thoughts of cakes and jammy stuff and wish it could be the real McCoy!! Mersey.... just added my photo! Yes.. thats me with a bad hair day! Solrosen=The Sunflower Can anyone answer this ...... Account page.. How much do you know about family history? .. I answer 'beginner' but when I next look it is changed to '!'m an experienced family historian' This, I am not - but maybe its because I first signed onto GR in 2007, and perhaps by now, 7 years later, I should be!! :-D :-D :-D

Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 674 Send Message	I got a bit of a shock a couple of days ago when I applied to join GR - some of my details were already there (I had forgotten that I had joined in 2007 - and have been using FMP) but I am sorted now, with the exception of the account page query. Thanks for listening....

Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 674 Send Message	Mersey... Sol is much easier, so whatever you like.... I AM a bit on the bright side, aren't I - should I tone down a bit do you think? Hi Wend.... Prickles (is that OK?)... Yup! did that... several times... and I also get the message at the top to say that changes have been made,-this message disappears after a few seconds! Perhaps I've fed in too much information all at once. I will keep trying!

	Hello Sorosen and welcome to the boards. You are off to a good start as you are researching my ancestors !! :-D My maternal grandmother was a Gardner from Camberwell and her sister Emily married a William Leech from Southwark. I have loads of information.
	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
