.... spend so much time just reading through the threads on tips board that they've totally neglected their own research?

Just realised you used totally in your thread - didn't mean response to sound sarcy or anything (just in case it did). Just meant I know exactly where you're coming from!

Sometimes reading other threads makes you think 'Oh, that;s what could have happened to my gt grandfather's 2nd cousin' or there's a useful new website to check out. sometimes you can get completely brain numb looking for your own lot and need a change of scene, so to speak. nell

i've found it does exactly what it states! i've started using it for tips if i've come unstuck as -how to, where do, how can? there's always an answer within a few minutes from someone with more experience and its invaluable. julie

I read these for a while every evening. Then go to bed full of new ideas for tomorrow - often. Then don't get time to go back on line until the next evening's 'thread session'...... ho hum.... LOL You're right, but it's all useful stuff !! and brings a few laughs ! Sarah :-)

Lol. Decided to kick my own butt so to speak and look at my hubbys grandmothers siblings..... have just spent the last half hour jotting down possible birth references ... getting nowhere ... not a single one born in the same area ... no 2 permutations from 6 siblings born in same area ... think I'll go back to reading the tips thread! Realised why I read it so often. Lol ..!
