Me??? I've given two helpful comments thank you Deanna! I don't know, you think you have friends and then they get you into trouble! lol Daisy ;0)

Helen How wonderful - I can't thank you enough - my e-mail addy is on it's way as we speak :)))))) Chrissie x Sorry Grampa - you don't mind us having a bit of a giggle do you? We do appreciate what you are saying - honestly :))

Sorry Daisy....... Deanna :-x)

BUT IT IS HER JIM.

Sneak!

Grampa Jim Please don’t give up because some people haven’t checked your list properly or are asking for things you don’t have. I’m sure your list will be of great value to others who may, possibly, not even have seen your kind offer yet. Unfortunately none of my lines are in the areas you’re offering, otherwise I’d be banging on your door. Joan x

its the same as having mentioned I speak certain languages - in the passing on a thread- to be mailed months later asking for translations of letters - ermmmmmm - sorry - but I WORKED as a translator and got paid for doing it - I NEVER offered my services as that on this site - its the principal of the thing. grrrrrrr my moan over - for the moment

I posted a similar comment to Jim a few days ago. My thread on the National Burial Index has had requests for births and marriages as well. Dont let it get you down Jim Margaret

Hey folks appriciate you but have you ever thought of the new beginners who haven't got a clue how to work these sites like me, we need all the help we can!! Don't give up!! Kaz

no dont stop............ ive asked for a look up but im so scared ive looked, checked, looked again and checked again to the point where im not sure i believe what ive written down and am wondering if i should treble check just in case!!! i just dont want to upset you kaz

Jim I sent you a serious reply but I got the no page found thingy. I wanted to say that I have been helped by a lovely lady on the boards who has done look ups for me. I cannot get out and about as I used to. You are helping people like that. So for give us our stupidities. deanna :-x)

Please rethink Jim, i have been a member only a short while and even after payng my money and joining wasn't aware of the boards. After a few fruitless weeks of looking i was thinking of stopping as i thought it was an impossible task. I then stumbled into the boards where people were offering lookups. Within a few days i had made great progress and found other avenues to explore. I wouldn't be here if it was not for the kindness of people like your self offering their time and expertise. So although you get the odd person not taking the time to read the thread/info properly you will get the odd appreciative person.

hey don't go grampa, your to nice and i'm sure there's plenty of folk who'd miss you i know i would :) xx

hi, i do know what you mean. everyone who offers look ups gets this ! i usually send them a polite message explaining why [ for instance] i cannot find someone on the census before they were born. or why i am not able to search for someone 'somewhere in leeds' [i do not have enough hours in the day..............] etc. lol. sue.

Don't give up grandpa Jim you do help lots of people and Margaret do you have scottish deaths on your national burial disc as I have tried so I was just wondering

Thank you for your support......I will wear it continually. Just letting off steam folks, BUT....If anyone asks me for info not on the list I will probably give them the sort of scathing reply that we used to receive when I was at school and someone said something stupid. The World has been warned. By the way I have 32 Smiths in my Tree too.

Chrissie, I have a Smith A, a Smith B (x 5), Smith E (x 2) Smith C (Cedric) x 4(?) must have been the year for Cedrics, Smith J (5) Smith T (Tom, Thomas, Tommy, Tatiana - Russian extract?) Smith Q (Quinton - very posh?) Smith R (Robert, Robin, Ralph, Rudolph, Randolph and so so and so on) about 40 of 'em, Smith S (too many to list), Smith W (William, Walter, Wilfred, Winifred etc etc etc etc) exact number too many to count - now, where do we start??? I know, I give up!!! - lol Jacqui
