An Arab sons email to his dad......


Dear Dad

Berlin is wonderful, people are nice and I really like it here, but Dad, I am a bit ashamed to arrive at my college with my pure-gold Ferrari 599 GTB when all my teachers and many fellow students travel by train.

Your son,
Nasser




The next day, Nasser gets a reply to his e-mail from his Dad:

My dear loving son,

Twenty million US Dollar has just been transferred to your account.
Please stop embarrassing us. Go and get yourself a train too.

Love,
Your Dad

Theres a 138 matches for Queen Elizabeth 1st!

Scary thing is Ive contacted one of them regarding my own tree....oooh, maybe I have blue blood

Renes

Renes Report 16 Nov 2010 12:50

Well - I thought I would have a look at the updates and saw someone had added William the Conk

and thought Oh -- but I cannot see the link - to my Ag Lab - she was connected to in 1700 s

Be super if I could - give my sister in France something to boast about - instead of making up ( sorry exaggerating) things

I got a reply from Estelle re my question about being able to use other sites if one was an advisor



You wouldn’t be able to post details from other websites outside of the brightsolid group. This is because it could be an infringement on copyright laws. However, we are offering full membership of Genes, Findmypast and free credits for Scotlands People for the time that you agree to be an advisor. You can then use these sites for research and use them in your responses. We also don’t object to you suggesting words to use in a Google search to find relevant results.




...... so now we know .


..... and we'd better be a little careful about how we post stuff from other sites. Althouhg that is nothing new ... they issued warnings a couple of years back.


Just don't post verbatim ......... Janey's campaign to remove the unnecessary bits makes a lot of sense, 'cos then you're not just c&p'ing

So the London marriages and baptisms are out then sylv?

SylviaInCanada

SylviaInCanada Report 16 Nov 2010 18:03

anything from any other site seems to be out ..... sub or free


BUT that is nothing new.


They did threaten us with this a couple of years ago, as I said.


Just don't C&P verbatim


.............. copy, then remove any categories that have not been completed

............. add extra information from the image if possible

Warnings have been given in the past by the other sites ............. eg, fmp has a limit on how many 1911 lookups you can do

Some people think ancestry keeps an eye on other sites to see how many postings are made ............... but in fact, what we post often leads to other people joining ....... note how many times we suggest that peope take out free trials etc.


Just be a bit careful



BUT, yes, it does mean that one could not post the London marriages, and other information tht is only avalable on ancestry or from any other site!



gotta go ........ have physio, so I need to shower and dress!

Really pleased for you and JB Gins.

You know I have been working with my OH for around 8 years now and no1 daughter. Have to be careful that home things do not spill into work and vice versa. But can make for a super team.


I had to give breakfast a miss this morning. We had our home visit day but stopped at an amazing garden center on the way. Had an enjoyable breakfast and bought some stuff for the Xmas window. We are keeping the woodland theme abut converting it into Christmas. Found a wonderful whicker snowman with lights and he doffs his hat.

Saw some painted tiles buit not as nice as yours Renes.

FannyByGaslight Report 16 Nov 2010 20:32

She has posted more than once on here,so she is not THAT new..
I have answered one of hers,but that is deleted from my threads now,so she maybe deletes all her posts?

She did one on that family yesterday...one of those one liners and there were some comments about asking properly and saying please, which she took offence too said it was the wrong family and deleted

Hi All

Am back from my late afternoon outing -

Decided to have a MacDonalds - mayor opened the shop
a little while ago - had a Big Mac - with no bits and pieces and patatas deluxe - - just big chips but crispier - not eaten today - so both very hungry -

not too bad -and we both ate everything

It was not cheap 16 euros - with one Big Mac free - think that experience will last me for sometime to come


Renes

Jax - why do you keep saying your are not related to posters - you know how they love to send you access to their tree

Don't think I will live
