(I'm doing it, FBG -- this is going to the Lester "surname board")


You have filled up the entire first page of the History board (and more) -- not just the Lester "surname board" -- with your posts.

Try reading the rules here before jumping in.

When you start a thread, you see:
"Before posting, please read the guidelines for message board use."
http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/genesreunited.asp?wci=grstatic&type=guidelines

ONE POST per subject.

All these people you are posting about belong to one family, at a glance. You are going to have other helpful paying members wasting all kinds of time dong the same research for closely related people.


Read this thread for guidance on using the boards:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1234942


Now click at the top of the History board where it says:

"To list the entire history board again click here"

and you will see your posts in the context of all the posts on the board.

You will see that no one else has ever posted like this.

Your posts are being read by *all* members who read the boards (a small fraction of all members of the site, however), not just someone related who might happen by here some day (and the odds of that happening are slim to nil). If you want help from other members to trace any of these people, it's customary to ask -- but also to do some searching for one's self, e.g. at FreeBMD, as others have pointed out.
