I WAS UNAWARE OF THE SITUATION

I am another of the several people who received abuse on at least one of the threads posted by christine / abbey / carrie / pooh bear
we did try to help her ..... any suggestion was received with abuse, and a refusal to do anything to help herself.
Unfortunately, you then came along posting threads asking for exactly the same information that she had been requesting on mutliple threads ...... almost all of which were repetitive.
You also refused to reply ............... and then posted an abusive message, using language that just is not used on these boards
You say you two are aunt and niece, and abbey has implied that you two are working together to sort out your family history ............... but there seems to be no communication between you.
I say that because if there was communication, then you wouldn't need to post thread after thread after thread asking the same thing .................. the number of threads between you and abbey so far must be getting close to 10 or 12!
Can you understand why so many of us might well be suspicious of anyone asking for lookups of that particular family??
As jax said, many of us are retired and this has been our hobby for many years, upto at least 30 years in some cases, dating back to the days before computers. Quite a few peoole are disabled, and this hobby and the communications on this site are quite literally their lifeline into the outside world that they find it difficult to access otherwise. Others are still working, but have fun tracing their own families as a relaxing hobby, and have decided to help others if and when they can.
We all use our own subscriptions to other sites and often pay for credits to some sites, all in order to help others like you. We also try to teach newbies how to find the information for themselves, hence the recommendation to try www.freebmd.org.uk, or to take out a 14 day free trial in ancestry or findmypast. Not because we are being mean ....... but because it is much more fun to find things out for yourself!
Christine/abbey/carrie/pooh bear, in all her guises, managed to slam and insult every member who tried to help her.
I'm not sure whether we weren't giving her the information she wanted ....... but whatever it was, she kept asking the same, or a very similar, question over and over again.
I'm sorry if you really are not abbey/christine/carrie/pooh bear ................ but you must communicate with her and get the information from her that she has been given so far.
Then you might try to start over again.
But please do not use either all capitals OR text speak in your postings. Most of us don't like the former and many of us also don't understand the latter!

Ok Lynn
I tried to help you gave you all sorts of details of your gt grandfather Lawrence.....no reply after 4 days...then you reply on that thread using the 'F' word not a good idea!!
Last night you start a new thread using the details I gave you and also your 'aunt' posts the same request within ten minutes ummmmm.
You said we dont have a life, well if thats what you think...fine
You are only a young girl and you will find most of us are older some are retired some are working and some are disabled like myself and find it an interesting and fullfilling past time and we do this because we enjoy it.
Please take note of what has been said, there are a lot of places where you can find infomation for free but most of the helpers pay and use our own free time to search these sites.
I suggested to you to take up the Ancestry.co.uk offer and you could look for yourself, and being a teenager you are probably more computer literate than me

I know what happened, because I was on the receiving end of your foul PMs, as were other people.
If christine / carrie / abbey / poo bear is your aunt, you go ask her for the answers to your questions. Lord knows she's been given the same answers to the same questions in every one of the multiple threads she has posted in the last two months, and I for one -- me being one of the people who politely and helpfully replied to more than one of those threads (forgetting I'd already answered the exact same question with the exact same answer in the past, in one case) -- am sick to death of you / both of you.
I have not got the slightest interest in whether you are aunt and niece, father and son or owner and dog, as I said in the thread you have now deleted. (Deleted, plainly, because your foul PMs didn't look quite so safe when exposed to the light of the day, and site administrator's attention.) You can be a two-headed piglet, and I still won't care.
Your "aunt" has been obnoxious and violated site rules repeatedly. Whatever. If you're in such close contact with her that you are both using this site and posting within minutes of each other, then go get your family history answers -- the ones a dozen or more people here have kindly given her, and been nothing but badmouthed for their troubles -- from her.
Oh, and say hello to everybody you have evidently been taking lessons from. They really do need to tell their new pupils how abjectly stupid it is to inform their target that they've been getting lessons.
