Hi Alisoun

Dont worry, we all have to learn, and this thread is not about you

Its just that new posters dont undertand that posting twice, makes for duplicate research

You can come out of the 'naughty corrner'

Dea Report 18 May 2012 20:32

Glad you found it helpful Alisoun.

I noticed your threads and saw that you had been given good advice regarding them and had acted upon it!

Well done for responding. :-)

We do indeed, all have to learn!

I was also guilty of such things when I first started :-(

Just take advice and read the other threads until you find your way around - we are all happy to help you if we can.

Welcome to the boards.

Best wishes,

Dea Xxx

P.S. - It is not the 'searching ethics' that are the problem, it is just that when you start a thread on a particular person or family, in order to help you find the answers, we do not just 'go and find it'!

What we do is to look at that person and try to follow them through all the census's, look at all the other family members, explore births, deaths and marriages etc. in order to try to get to know the family so that any info we find can be checked against all these things to be as sure as we can that the info we are giving you is correct.

If then you start a new thread on the same person, or on a close family member, people will do these same searches all over again when in fact all this had already been done and was probably on the first thread for all to see.

This is where the problem lies as people are wasting their time finding it all over again when, if it was all kept together, they would see it all at a glance.

This makes things much easier for us and you, in turn, will probably receive your info much sooner.

Hope this helps you to understand.

I am one of the guilty ones who accidently posted twice when i thought I,d closed my original thread . thenI thought i,d be better to seperate my original request for info about unmarried ggrandma +father into 2 seperate threads as it would be different research , How does that sit with searching ethhics ? Some people are bound to make mistakes when using threads for !st time .Thanks for putting out that reminder

I didn't mind at all Sylvia but I got very confused. When I saw the 'light breakfast' and a brunch - I thought it must be Saturday but then I knew that I hadn't had grandson yesterday only grand-daughter and was sure I was having him today so it MUST be Friday.

Anyway, it was an unexpected luxury to have two meals today :-D :-D

Good morning all,

Yes Cynthia - it IS grandson day but I also had yet another lie-in so I am a bit behind now as I will have to go and pick him up soon so have to wake up quickly :-D :-0

I am a bit confused, or is it me? - Does Sylvia think it is Saturday as we have a light breakfast and then brunch ??? - Is that normal for a Friday ? :-S

Anyway, I have had my bacon buttie and will be back for the rest later - it looks delicious :-(

Thank you Sylvia <3 <3

Thank you Sylvs and good morning....I think I will have a wander over to the warmers today...... :-D



That fire sounds dreadful - just shows how careful one should be with barbeques......... :-(


Hope all the poorly ones are feeling better this morning and I'm surprised that I've beaten Dea down.........unless it's grandchildren day.

There was a huge house fire earlier this evening over on the north shore of the harbour, about 20 km or so from here.


The clouds of smoke blackened the sky all over Vancouver and south to not far from the US border (about 30 km south of here).



Pretty dramatic



It is reported as being "an incident with a barbecue and propane".


One man with injured hands, and one completely destroyed house.
