Its good you can choose your own name, but sometimes I wish you had to have a number or something so you know its not the same person.

Lots of nutters on here!

Fans, I knew what you were talking about because it's been brought up before. I have used the za site - can't remember when. I think you simply scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the SA flag. It's all the same thing except I don't think they have as many adverts as we do. Sylvs or Janey can probably give a better explantion than me.

I am back.
I was working today then went to Dartford fireworks with grand daughter.
She has learnt to enjoy them this year.

A guy turned up 30 minutes late for a 45 minute appointment with no apology and was upset we could not see him. No phone call, no apology or anything.
It took half an hour of convincing that he was too late.

A-M from pages back (I'm still there):

"About posting census info - I'll sometimes post a census just to get my bearings as to who's in the family and where they were - do you think that's OK?"

That's been long practice here, from before my arrival. Nobody asking ever does it, although some burble it out in narrative form. We're so used to seeing it in c&p form, it has always been practice to say "for ref" and then stick it in to start off.

Half the time, comes the reply "I have that already".

To which the correct answer is: "That's nice. Nobody else did. And you didn't offer it. So I did."

And of course I agree about posting things e.g. from FreeBMD that people can and should find themselves. I've started being a little more verbose about that: *We* are not going to put that info here for you, because (a) it would spoil your fun, and (b) you need to make friends with FreeBMD anway.

A-M: "And why do I sometimes get .co.za on the end of the URL."

Because every link FBG posts is from that portal, drives me nuts; I paste one of her links up top and hit enter, and I'm being asked to sign in, and I sigh, and change the url to .uk and hit enter again and I'm back where I want to be.

Click on JaneyCanuck. To whom are you sending a message then? Janey Canuck. Ha. If you believe that ...

You have to go into your account details and eliminate every vestige of your real name -- first name, birth surname and current surname. Your birth surname, if different from current surname, will show up in the contacts list of anybody you PM. This is a large amount of personal info to be giving out to anybody and its dog.

This is my next campaign with the new owners. This place not only discloses people's personal info, but lies about it and says it doesn't (e.g. that you're hiding your real name with a username, as FBG notes, and also when it says that people who search trees won't see your full name -- not unless they click to send you a message they won't, anyhow).

The other thing is that people think they're "hiding living people" in their trees -- and don't seem to realize that although people looking at their tree can't see them, anybody who searches trees for a name will find it.

Plain illegal, at least some of it.

I did wonder why some links wanted me to sign in again, now I realise they were always FBGs.
Shall ignore them in the future then until she starts using an English one lol

re posting a census when beginning a search

I usually post something like "for reference purposes",

and quite often add soemthing like "and to help me and other helpers get my / our head(s) around your family. Is this your family in xxxx"


still get told "I have that" ... so it's not foolproof!


A-M ........... in other words, it is perfectly OK to do, we all need to have that information at our fingertips, so you posting it saves me posting it!

I also try to make sure that I post the information for every member of the household

......... it's amazing what being able to look up a sibling can do to solve a problem, yet most askers don't give that sibling information!
