Find Ancestors

What does tick me off though is when other genes members seem its OK to chastise other genes helpers. We cant all be perfect however much we think we are.

sometimes we all think we are wasting our time trying to help BUT then we do it because we want to dont you think.
I remember in my VERY early days asking for help and getting shot down in flames because i didnt phrase in the way that one helper liked!! It did put me off for a while cos I thought i was back outside the headmistresses study waiting for the axe to fall. Am a bit more experienced now and have become a helper too cos my families are back pre 1837 so I do try to be tolerant of those just starting out and floundering.

Well if Genes team cannot get the message across how to use this thread, what hope do I have NONE so I am wasting my time trying to help people on here.

Well I have never sen any thread by Flick helpig people so it cuts both wys, but i don't have time or patience to look at threads which says looking for trying to find - so I put this on to try and get people to post who they are looking for so if i see a thread with a name i am researching i can get in contract with the person concerned, but why are you getting at me everyone on this site has helped someone in the past one way or other.

But unfortunately you seem to think it is a competition I don't

I have wondered why Roger posted this thread - not that the message isn't worthwhile - 'cos I've not seen any help given by him. Or have I missed all his helpful input on threads which I haven't accessed?

Is it a competition Flick?

You could argue that Roger has helped by posting this thread I suppose.

Glad it's not just me.
"Trying to Find Trying to Find " drives me mad.

We know you are trying to find ... that's the title of the board !!

Thanks Dea.
We learn something every day!!!

If it is a thread which you have started - open the thread and go up to the very first post.

Click on 'edit' which I think is in bottom left corner of the first post and a box will open giving you the option to edit your post or your title.

Have a little look and let me know if you can't find it.

Dea, excuse my blonde moment, but can you tell me how.
Thnx.

Well Roger, calling your thread "trying to find" isn't exactly a good demonstration of your point!

"Please put name, date and place in your subject line"

would maybe be more useful. Look at your thread in the board list -- really no clue what it's about! No newby wrapped up in their own search is going to read it. Not that any newby would if it were dressed up in purple polka dots and blinking.

You can edit the title, Michael. ;)


and I can edit my post -- who's Michael??

We can already edit the title Wendy !

Yes I have been suggesting this as have many others. I think members realise after they don't get any responses. Suggestion to GR.......edit option for title, so that people can correct any mistakes, correct the dates, or even let people know the search is closed.
This would help eliminate the 'double' name listing that sometimes can't be helped.
