General Chat

Hi
Thanks for this. Bit of a luddite when it comes to computers. Too old! Will try and get on to the links you suggest.

Peter .............

Welcome to the Boards

you should also look at two other Boards, Genealogy Chat and Find Ancestors

There are helper members on those Boards who never ever look on this General Chat Board, which was intended to be for "general non-family history chatting between members".

All the people who help are members like yourself, but with a love of doing research and helping others.

Do always give as much information as you have, but also ask clearly what else you are looking for.

To contributors. Just started on this site. Getting used to how it works. Please bear with me :-)

Thanks. Notices about James Lawrence and military reference to my Grandad Joseph Lawrence also new if that is him. Will let you know :-)

I'll send the poster a message to return
