We're domed.


Having taken over my Grand Fathers account since he passed away two years ago, I have still been trying to keep his research going. I don't think I have been doing to bad so far added another 100+ certified people to his tree.

Reading this forum recently its no wonder the youth of today don't respect their elders, the majority of posting members behave worse than children.

Maybe its time to step back away from the forum's and do some research which is what most of us must have joined for else why would we be here, if not for research or support the only other reason I can think of is to stir up trouble.

For those people who have come to find help with research I can only say sorry for the supposed grown ups who are ruining the boards.

For the people who have joined here to cause dissent on the boards I hope you find some where more suited, or go back to the other genealogy sites from where you came.

I hope if this post gets reported, GR will see fit to re-instate it for at least 48 hours after that I don't care

Rach.

P.S. If you want to slag me off feel free I've got skin so think a nuclear blast won't harm it.

Rach I agree with every word you say and well done you adding the 100 people I'm now at the stage if I add a couple of people I think I've done well. :-D

HI RACH
I AGREE WITH YOU

ADULTS ARE IMPOSSIBLE THEY;RE KNOW ALLS

OR AS MY GENERATION USED TO SAY

KNOW ALL NOTHINGS

THEY BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE ABUSIVE

AND FORCE THERE OWN OPINION AS EVERYONES

GOOD TREE HUNTING <3

Interesting perspective Rach.

To be honest, it’s unlikely that most people post to cause trouble. Just as in real life people have different personalities and attitudes. There are bound to be conflicts of characters especially as GR could be seen as a microcosm of society.

Some members happily admit that they will say things as they think; others will walk away (or read something else) rather than engage in conflict.

Now you’ve taken over your grandfather’s account, were you aware that you can change his board name to your own? Go into ‘my account’ and type in the name of your choice where it says ‘Board Name’.

Hello Rach, I also agree with what you say, and can see no reason for anyone to slag you off for voicing your opinion of the boards.

Good luck with researching your tree, your grandfather I am sure would be pleased and proud that you are continuing the work he started :-)

Actually I would take issue with the statement that 'the majority of posting members behave worse than children'. A minority yes, I'd agree with that.

And yes, we did join to further our genealogy research but for many of us that was up to 10 years ago and we have gone as far back as we want to give or take a few solid brick walls. Now we enjoy the friendships we have made over those years plus sharing other interests we also have like gardening, reading, crafts, writing etc etc. And giving each other support in good and bad times.

Welcome to the community boards Rach, I hope you get much enjoyment from your research but also that you make as many virtual friend as I have, many of whom I have also met at one time or another.

Rach. I am so hoping that one of my children will develop an interest in genealogy like you have.

I am aware I am probably reaching end of my life. Still very well, but have passed ages when my parents and brother died and feeling more and more mortal.

We do our tree for our own pleasure. But mainly for our children and our grandchildren. To make them proud and interested in their roots. To keep alive the memories of those who have gone. Otherwise, they just become forgotten in some desolate corner of an unkempt graveyard.

Your father would be proud of you. He would have been proud anyway, but I am sure (like me) he would be thrilled to know you have found and certificated another 100 relatives. Well done. :-) :-)

Good morning Rach and can I say a big welcome to the boards.
I always try my best not to take any notice of unruly children, and prefer to 'dance away from trouble as life's too short to quarrel.
Happy researching :-)

Hello Rach, I bet your Grandad is very happy that you are continuing the work he started, well done :-)

Apart from the few show offs who seem to like the look of their own words, the boards are usually good to dip in and out of between researching.

if you ever need help, please feel free to ask and ignore the wooden spoon brigade, they are to be pitied as they seem to have nothing better to do than try to wind up strangers. :-P :-P
