	Afternoon everyone just popped on to say hello I'm on FB too, Sue and Linda are my friends so if you want to add me you can, my profile pic is my horse. When my brother was sorting out my dad's house after he died, he found a photo of our grandparents with my aunts and uncle. It was taken in the 50's. my brother gave the phoro to one of the aunts and she said she'd get copies done for us but sadly she died last year and I dont know what happened to the photo which is a shame. x

	I replied to your email Yvonne. I only joined a couple of weeks ago so I am feeling my way as I go. Can I ask you ladies do you keep all your papers on your family tree ? like all your Census and details like that or do you keep one family together why I ask this is I have two large bags of paper to shred now and still I have full folder files on each family I am looking for an easier way to store. them.

Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 4,590 Send Message	Rita,I have all my details in one folder. I have traced my dads side back as far as I can go. I have got his uncles service records from WW1,up to his death during the war,and where his grave is. My dad was named after him.And all his family were army people. But on mums side,I have been able to trace my grandmothers side,but not grandads.

	Evening all Well I did manage to get to the post box and it was dry !!! It rained around lunchtime so I am glad I went out early. Yes I have been on Facebook for a while. I have You ladies as friends over the last few days. I have been doing Farmville since September. It is adictive but costs no money !!! And has kept my mind busy when I couldn't get out. I have many files Rita, just ask my husband They are for the main names I research and then the other names joining them unless I have loads of info. Must do some more knitting tonight and then more name places. Only 4 months to the date now !!! Linda :o) XxX

	Rita, I keep all mine together (in separate files, inside a big file) but I don't print off census sheets, I store them on memory sticks.

	My phone is driving me mad today it keeps ringing when I pick it up the line goes dead and you hear the phone click. this happened five times. Then I left it ringing and the operator said not available please leave a message and they hang up four times this has happened someone is being funny and if I get hold of them they won't think its funny for long. I get so annoyed when people do that.. well I have had my little moan. I only logged on as it is my Great Granddaughter Jade birthday tomorrow and I wanted to see if it was on so I can tell her Daddy to show her. it is so I will email now and have a cup of horlicks and go to bed I am tired. it has been a long day Nite all Rita

	Oh Rita, I would get that sorted if I were you....don't sound right. Ring BT tomorrow. I have been to see my Dad today, he was cold ...why because he WILL not put all the Rads on . Now he is 95yrs and I told him the government pays for your heating !! So put it all on...... at your age you need every room heated ... ! I might as well talk to the wall ..LOL I'm sure he would rather see it in the bank....or count it !! Now where have you all gone ???

Member Since: October 2007 Posts: 957 Send Message	Got my pics I asked for attached to an email today, so been doing a bit more on tree, plus a relative has asked for help on his wives side(which is proving to be a bit tricky). I have printed out some census records(when it lets me!!) & keep them with the certs i have.
