Not quite closed. ;)

I just had a nice little chat with Hilary and passed on Helen's email address, and sent Helen Hilary's, and as soon as Hilary's ISP stops messing her around, she'll be in touch!

Helen

Now you have got an answer on this thread, another tip would be to add *closed* on the subject line.

This will stop people from clicking on this now it is solved.

Too true! I'd read the post before that was added, and clicked on by!

er -- I meant: too true about the "Canada". Not that I'm not a gem. Just not so little. Good advice indeed, Dea!

[I've edited out website references here because of privacy]

If you use http://www.google.ca to search, you can select "pages in Canada" to look for them, if they happen to be on the net anywhere.

I think I've got them. Hilary also appears in the same location.

At least update your thread title to include the word 'Canada' - That way, hopefully when Canada comes on line - people will look at it??

Sorry....lol...wasn't thinking...as far as I know they live in Canada and have left messages to me on various gen-sites (last mesage dated 2004) but I've been out of the country since 2003. I have tried to send messages via this site...and Ancestry.com but had no reply. I'm probably just toooo impatient!

If Derrick is the one who is in a number of GR trees........contact one of the tree owners...............

Dea

Dea Report 24 Jun 2008 13:50

I think you will have to give a bit more info if you expect anyone to contact you.

I take it they are 'living' people so not TOO much please but perhaps an area and approx age? - What is the degree of urgency?
