You've posted previous requests about this........and you haven't apparently read the replies.

ONE post per topic is the GR rule.....please read the guidelines

I responded on that original posting - please delete this one

I have sent Tucker guidelines on how to return to his threads TWICE!

They have been opened but not acknowledged.

However, as the envelope shows white when a message has been deleted, it may be that he has just deleted them without reading :(

sorry every1 im new to this dont really know what im doing but im trying thankyou all for helping me <3

And living relatives:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/living_relatives/thread/1267385

My own position on posts on that board is that unless someone updates the thread periodically by editing the post, to say whether replies have been received and what kind of info has been provided, I'm not going to be doing searches.

Posting there and also on Find Ancestors ... repeatedly ... is a surefire way not to get any help.

well like ive already said im new to this i dont know what im doing i didnt know you were not allowed to post same topic sorry........... why reply saying that to me whe i put my infomation on the topic board i didnt ask you pacificaly for your help............ i dont know what you you mean update the thread....... so what your saying is that for me being new on here who hasnt got a clue about this site just because i made a mistake by posting to many topicz nobody will help?? thats wicked mind........ its ok for all you lot who are older and wiser than me...i am just trying to get some help sorry!!!!!!!! =I

Who were you asking or help, then?

You didn't read the instructions when you posted, apparently. You can read them now by clicking on Help Clinic in the upper left.

Many people find that reading a little on a site before using it is wise. For instance, you could read a few threads on the Find Ancestors board and see who helps when a message is posted.

People who do help - lots - don't find it a productive use of their time to do searches and offer suggestions in one thread that someone else has already done and offered in another.

Do not post the same thing twice is a basic rule around here, and it was right there in front of you when you started your threads.


One question I had about your search was whether you are sure that the sister your mum thinks she had was born *after* she was.

In either case -- there is no other birth with surname Blight and mother Blight 1951-1971 in Cardiff.

Don't forget to put your mum's name -- with her permission -- in your family tree here at GR. If someone searches for her name here, they won't find you unless you do that. Keep your email address up to date in your account here (or use a permanent online account like at gmail) so you receive notices of any messages sent to you.

ok sorry...... its very confusing for me on here. a younger sister she thinks. but the only one i found is michael carl blight surname blight mothers maiden name blight thank you =I

nudge

Nudging is intended to bring a thread to someone's attention. Nudging w/o comment or info just fills up page 1 of the board. The various posts about the same thing are momentarily visible on the first page. They then just sink again.

Threads:

I'd add re one of these threads that suggesting that someone try the living relatives board *and not refer to an existing thread* amounts to suggesting duplicate posting. ;)

janey...i also keep seeing "nudge" and dont know what it means....i thought it was just one of the helpers nudging another for them to get in touch!! i thick or what?!! if i write nudge in the reply boxes on my threads,what will it do? will it bring threads into sight again? elaine.x

Indeed, Elaine -- it's a way of sending your own posts up to the top of the page again so those "fresh eyes" might see it. ;)

Better to add something, or summarize what you're still looking for, though.

Tucker, this is all info that may help you too. :-)

Don't start new threads -- "nudge" the existing one and say you're still looking for help/ideas.

thankyou janey for explaining....i'm like tucker...when you're relatively(no pun intended!)new to this geneology,it does get confusing on what you can or can't do. and i read about the site b4 posting!

awwwwww im really sorry i dont have a clue what i mean sorry its really confusing to me why would she nudge me? to talk to her ..... thick...... :S

Hi Tucker.

As Janey has said, everytime a comment is added to your thread, it takes it back to the top of the board to be seen again.

Some people put the word 'nudge' instead of writing something.

tucker

Please just answer one straight question.........do you have you mother's birth cert?

awwww right i no now thanx! sorry ive not replied ive had loads of telling offs im new to this dont fully understand it yet ;0( no i dont have the birth certificate, thats what my mams going to have to get to find out her mothers name as we dont know it, and i cant seem to find out much info on here its confusing =I

If your mother was legally adopted in 1962..she needs to got the Social Services office and ask to speak to a Social Worker to get her adoption file..she may have to have counselling before she gets the file..depending on how your Mum feels when she speaks to a Social Worker.

Good Luck..
Sue

Your mum can go ahead and get her birth certificate, and that's a first step, but as Sue says it can be wise to use the services that Social Services offers before proceeding.

If you yourself want to research your mum's family history (and not look for living family), you'll be able to trace her mother's ancestors starting from that certificate (although since her mother is probably still living it would be a bit delicate for the first generation bit).
