General Chat

I'm a bit unsure as to who is new and not. I been here too long if you ask me, but what the hell. In for a penny in for a pound. If you are new welcome to GR. Catherine xx

Might get your thread deleted Catherine ?? Mau xx ;O))

if you are new welcome. Have a great day. catherine xx What made you join GR?

I was new 40 odd years ago pmsl Sxx

i'm not new but jussed popped in to say hello, i don't know many people on here either.

Catherine, you been here long enough to know not to use the 'b' word in full lol... Been here since March as a paying member, but been a non paying member for about three years.

Hello i'm newish i joined GR a few weeks ago but only just started with general boards and chat. i sometimes feel i'd be rude to butt in other people conversations!! Linda

I can't see why my thread would be deleted, I mean no offence, from the people that know me they will know this, I am purely saying hello to any new members that have joined their is no other meaning meant by this thread, and if the use of b***y offends anyone, please tell me and I will delete my word, but being a northern lass, this you will find is a very common word we use as I have used it many times on here and never been deleted. catherine xx

Linda, don't feel like that, this is a public forum, you can chip in whenever you want. It took me a while to learn that but its true! (If people want private conversation, they can do it in PM anyway lol) Welcome to the boards all you newbies.

Linda you are most welcome as if everyone else new. What made you research your family tree is it what you expected or better? catherine xx

Catherine, I'm not offended by the word, nor would anyone else be really, but its against GR rules...that's all. (I swear like a trooper off the board, so not offended at all lol)

As I have used that word on many occasions and never been deleted before I can only assume GR are tightening their reign. So I have deleted it. I don't actually swear myself, just say that word now and again. If your are from the North of England, more so from Manchester you will understand. Anyway where was I? catherine xx

I started searching my husbands paternal side first because when we looked our surname up it came up as no origin so i decided to trace the family and see if was adapted somewhere along the line but once i started his side i was enjoying it so i've started my side mines harder than his though as my maiden name 'Mills' is a very popular name.

my mums from manchester and she say b***** nora alot.

Sorry if I have offended you Catherine, that was not my intention, just giving a little friendly advice.

Sorry the phone rang at home.. good for you Linda I have done loads on my mother's side but not my dad's. Manchester is top, so behave. catherine xx

you not offended me at all Teresa.x I just didn't want this post turning into something else.I just wanted to say Hi to any new people cos there are some name I haven't seen before. If you have changed your name I couldn't care less. But if your new Welcome. catherine xx
