	Can I also add a point about personal messages. I am quite happy to help people. I enjoy finding out things - especially when I'm stuck on what I'm doing on my tree. But PLEASE if I do offer info, advice, whatever - please do not send me a personal message with a bit more info or another question. The name you use on these boards does not appear on your message so I don't know who you are. Plus, if I have replied to several people over the course of a few days I probably will not remember you - and I don't want to go hunting through my threads to see if I can find the original message. Please post back to your original message .... I am getting to the stage where I do not respond at all to the personal messages and am beginning to wonder whether it's more trouble than it's worth actually trying to help people. Jill

	Sue in Somerset is fantastic! BUT - if you're new to this like me - I find the threads confusing so please put your requests for help in the right place. I was looking to find a Trickey relative. I used 'Trying to find' Put in Trickey under surname. Explained what I'd got, what I couldn't find and where I'd looked. BINGO! Sue and Ruth had loads of suggestions - and the right answer to some of it within a couple of days - only I forgot to look back and see it So, follow her advice and she might offer to help complete strangers - just like me. Everso grateful! Emma

	This thread is not about me offering to do loads of research for people. If you put a thread on one of the boards and I feel I can help and I fancy doing it then I will add information to YOUR thread. There is no point in asking me to look up your missing recent relations in private messages..........most of my own tree is medieval! Now bear in mind folks that if people are not understanding THIS thread .........how much more confusing must we be finding some of the ones we see on here!!! Sue x

	Well this is interesting! The number of people who haven't actually read what this thread is about before adding comments surprises me. I've just altered the title and maybe now people will understand. This thread is trying to make people realise that if you want help from any of your fellow members in this group then you need to make it clear what you want. Not on this thread PLEASE. Make your own thread and make it obvious what you are asking for! Sue

	Shelly you should start a thread of your own to ask your questiosn This is meant to be a thread offering advice on HOW to ask for help, not offering help. Your request will get lost on here. sylvia
