That's ok, I actually nudged the wrong thing but never mind. I nudge 2 similar thing on History & Surname.

I was just about to nudge this myself....

I've come online and found several old threads replied to... most by one single person, who has probably most excitedly found this place, typed her surname in the left pane and then replied to ALL of the entries found.....

Grrrrr

middle of the night nudge


Cynthia, I think it is a combination of events.

Yes, people are looking on the Surname Board, and pulling up these old boards. But you can also search by surname on TTF (and the other threads), and this also pulls up very old threads.


Of course, one of the additional problems is that until August last year, answers to queries could not be posted directly on the TTF board, you had to send the person asking the question a personal email with whatever answers you could provide.

This meant that there is NO record on any threads on TTF before that date of answers that could well have been supplied.

So bringing up an old thread, could also mean that the questionner is being provided with answers they have already received!

I agree. When I'm having a break from my tree, I glance through the boards to see if I can help in my limited way. Is it me, or do most of these old threads come via the Surname information board? I suppose folk are just excited to see someone looking for 'their' name that they don't think to look at the date on the message. Will willingly nudge this.
