Find Ancestors

sorry to have offended anyone i obviously am nieve i was not the one selling this item i thought i would just let everyone else know incase these people were in their trees. i have removed thread as it seems to have upset people sorry

Why? other people post threads about items of interest on Ebay

i had several emails in my inbox this morning telling me i was disgusting for advertising my ancesters and should remove my thread i am rather upset as thought i was doing others a kind thing but obviously not

thats what i thought .

was it item 330076585277 ...... If their emails have upset you then report them to abuse.

Sounds like their problem Louise, not yours....lets just hope it was none of our family members in that tree, its more upsetting to miss out on these things.

yes just thought it was a one off thing to have and funny enough on ebay my name is louise again

thanks sue and willow you are the sort of people that make it worth while

Hi Louise, Don't know why people don't ask before jumping to the wrong conclusion.When i read it i thought that you has spotted it on e-bay and just letting people know as quite a few have done in the past.Don't worry. Regards Sue

I have asked the seller for some more information off it, perhaps we could connect it to someone off here..

It seems to match in with someone who has a tree on Ancestry World Tree. I have sent him an email. Also checked on here and the same person appears to be a member of GR - so have sent him a pm as well! UPDATE- he has received my message and is going to look at the ebay item.

Hi Louise I read your thread and i didn't see that there was anything wrong with it. I went on ebay and had a look at it. we have a teacher with that name but she is off this week so you never know. I would love someone to put on a thread with any of my names on it. I don't always go on that part of ebay. Don't worry about those moaning minnies. Cheer up Kate

Louise, I was one of the people who replied to your first thread. As I said in my reply, I didn't object to the item being mentioned on the thread, (lots of people do this) only all the terms and conditions, methods of payment, etc., which I must say, did make it look like you were the one selling the item and also made it look like you were using Genes to advertise things for sale - which I now realise you weren't. I didn't send you any personal messages. I apologise if I upset you at all, as this wasn't my intention - I actually tried to give advice about looking up the names from the family tree in the quick search, so that the tree could go to the proper family.

Louise I saw your thread on the tree I didn't for one minute think it was you selling it. Don't worry if someone has misunderstood. I wish it had been of my family boy what a find. Germaine x

Louise, Don't let other people get you down. Their misinterpretations of something are their problem not yours. (It didn't enter my head it was you selling). I looked on Genes and there are over 300 entries of Vigor in trees on here. I hoped it would go to it's family. Such a super thing to find....... now if only someone would find my family bible(sold in the 50's) I would be delighted!!Marie

Hi I also replied to Louise's 1st thread and obviously miss read it. But I would also like to say that I didn't send her any emails. I was just annoyed that someone would use Genes for personal gain and thought it was an insult to all the generous people that have given their time ( mostly at their own expense) doing lookups for myself and others. I have sent Louise a personal appology and would like to appologies to anyone else that took offence. Colleen.

if the tree goes up to 1921, perhaps the person selling should look for a living relative through electoral registers. It would be a shame for it to go to someone who is not connected to the tree. I wish I could find something like that on my family tree.

Hi just had this response from the seller... 'Hi. Try John Stanley Vigors who married Sarah Westbrook Barber in 1921 - who had a son, John Janes Herbert Vigors. Desmond Doyne Vigors - born 1921 also.' wonder if we can locate the family I cant find anything...

Hi I managed to find someone on GR who was researching the same names........ The Vigors come from County Carlow Ireland and look to be a very distingushed family! Anyway I sent the person an email and they sent this reply:- 'Thanks very much. I think that tree is relevant and I have put in a bid. If I am successful it I will give the tree to the Irish Genealogical Research Society library so that it will be available for anybody who get there.' So well done Louise!!

I just emailed them, Louise should get the pat on the back, she found it.
