Find Ancestors

Replies to queries usually come back within 5 minutes so please stay at least for a while.

Sometimes we need to ask questions so please stick around for a while after posting a query.

Besides that it's more than a little disheartening to sit here talking to yourself!

Who said that ??????

Morning Claire, I am usually a thread killer, so I hope you are still sat there.

Here but not for long, I have to go to work ;(

Hi Claire I am always surprised how quickly people come back once you hace asked a question and people are so very helpful. I have found out so much more about my family from everyone here.
Angie

Fully agree with that Claire, so annoying isn't it and also when they never come back at all after having lots of info posted.

I'm usually here to talk to you lol

Christine

Have a good day everyone, I'm off to do some gardening

The other side of this is people who stick around for a few hours but then leave and never come back. Not all answers are given straight away.

Very true Jim, if you don't get a reply after a while, try again regularly. You can do this very easily by pressing "My Threads" in the little yelllow box on the left of the screen.

Claire, that is what I do after been advised my Rosie to do so. It makes life so much easier.

I've now done a runner myself & gone to work!

Well im going to mow me lawn

Does anyone know how to remove threads from My Threads. I have some where I have posted on one where the person os very kindly looking for lots pf people. I copy my answers into another document but the Thread keeps appearing and getting in the way of threads I have posted myself.

I agree that everyone here is so kind and helpful. i would not have found out half the information I have without the kindness and generosity of the members.

I know what you mean,Alison.
Click on the thread that is annoying you go right through it until you find your post then there is a delete button.

Thanks Jim. I will use that in future but may take ages to find my posts in the ones that are already on there.

I PM the individual to let them know that you have found some information for them (in case they had to leave the board) out of courtesy. Many people work out of their homes, have children to tend to or just go and do something else on the computer.

Upon their return they usually will PM back.

But its not down to me to remind them to come back a check though

Julie, that's true but there are times that I have posted messages here and have come back--and no one replied to my message.

It's just a courtesy and it only takes a few minutes to PM them directlyl. Aren't we here to help others? What if they don't have computer access on a daily basis?

Same has happened to me Joan..they don't come back then thats there lost not mine


say like....If some asked to borrow something from me & they don't come to get it, i ain't chasing them to give it to them

I agree Julie, we all have busy lives. If someone is asking for help then they should choose a time when they can stick around for 1/2 hour & if something crops up there is nothing to stop them saying that they have to go.

i think we did this not so long back,
a woman who cares for her husband asked for help on here and then had to leave as her husband needed her and when she returned to her thread someone had left a comment about not hanging around for answers,(she was really upset) things happen and some people cant always answer straight away, its one of those things.
i thought we were here to help if we can something we enjoy doing when we have time.
if i look up something and dont get a reply, its not really my lose and it doesnt really worry me. theres so much more to worry about in this world.
