Member Since: March 2009 Posts: 16 Send Message	I would like to to say thank you to all that have helped me and I am sorry if I have upset anyone. As quoted above I did say thank you by PM As I felt it was more than I could do, and would be more appropriate. once again I am very sorry if I affended any one. Regards terri

	Reggie, As you say your second question was indeed silly. Why would I or anyone else for that matter advise someone who had marked their post as "Answered" and had taken the trouble to use a private message to thank someone who had helped, to return to their thread to post a public thank you? Those whose ego dictates that they need public thanks or praise might I suppose, but speaking personally mine doesn't. I am curious. Why are you interested in this thread in particular as you do not appear to have contributed any information to it or made any post on it until after it's originator had marked it as "Answered" ?

	Reggie, A possible answer to your question. Terri thanked me by private message for the information that I provided her with. Perhaps she also used private messages to thank all those others who helped her.

	Why is this 'marked as answered' when not one word of thanks has been added?

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 4,475 Send Message	Here's the marriage but you will need to get credits to download the marriage certificate for all the details. 1 1894 SANDISON ALEXANDER LAING WILLIAMINA WOODSIDE ABERDEEN CITY/ABERDEEN 168/03 0027 Now you know where the 'Laing' comes from :-) Looks like Alexander's 2nd marriage too from the ages of those children.
