Find Ancestors

Popping this link on here as some of you might know Debbie from the Records Board

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1130407

Debbie has sadly lost her 10 year old daughter

The member I had PMed about what was being said about her and her family (that her father wasn't who she thought it was, etc) actually knows who the person is, and knows that she has found family members who will have no contact with her.

It is unfortunate that she is not getting help. The mental health system leaves much to be desired everywhere. But even in this century we haven't found a magic wand to fix these problems. The surprising thing is that she may not be as unhappy as she seemed to us from what we saw. We can only hope she has a support system. And when you think about it -- she did have to open an account here with a credit card and so on -- she is probably doing better than it would seem just from knowing this one little side of her. A person with a psychosis isn't just the psychosis, but unfortunately that is all we saw of her.

hi Jacki and Linda - the subject of the gender of this person has been mentioned before, probably on the original whooooshed thread, but I have seen it.
Julia in Derbyshire

That did cross my mind too........also, on a TTF board under mcdean on ALISONS thread as far back as oct 2007... she has actually left her /his email address!!!!........guess it will remain a mystery, unless they start again under a different name!

jus wanted to say glad its ova but it seems noone has thought or mentioned this person maybe a fella......

Evie
I have found other species on this site.

There are the bynars.
They can only leave duplicate threads.

Betazoids
They assume you know what they are thinking so do not bother to tell you names dates etc

changelings
they have duplicate memberships so you end up contacting the same person under different names

Klingons
I have noticed a few on here who like to go into battle

Armus.......guess who?


Christine

how great to come on here and find the problem has been solved!

Problem is though, she herself is probably not getting the help she so desperately needs.



Evie ..... I shall not now be able to remove Pakleds from my mind when reading threads on these boards!

OMG, just for a second I thought Tracy was back. Just a "N" to top of board

PHEWWW

Christine, don't let a little thing like that put you off! Wait til you start spending more time poking into other people's families, and find yourself dealing with the Pakleds.

I was thinking of them because of a classic member of the species last night. "I am new to this". I am not smart. Help me. Yeah. By the 11th thread (that's the ones I found, anyhow), s/he had an entire family tree mapped out, all the branches, back to when census time began, pretty much, and hadn't had to do any more than type a few paragraphs on a discussion board. Let alone put out any cash.

Dea: I be English! I do speak the French, but my brain is English through and through. I don't actually speak French all that much, I just read piles of it. If it's been a while since I actually had to conduct a fragment of conversation in French, I sometimes find myself babbling incoherently. But then, that may not be a language issue. ;)

That "mine de rien" ... the problem was that I was dealing with what had to be the most overwritten piece of junk I had ever encountered ... as I say every time I encounter an overwritten piece of junk ... and the best conclusion was probably that it didn't mean anything at all, it was just a frenchified bit of frippery that the author thought it best to throw in to show how very French she was. Seriously, it was some sort of verbal tic, best I could tell. The absolute peak of Frenchness is writing things that nobody at all understands, even the French.

The family is some good some not great but not bad, strictlly speaking. I shall PM you. Later when I get some more work done ...

Just to say I have received two messages from GR in the past hour reassuring me they have taken action.
That was the first acknowledgement from them that I received even though Evie got hers this afternoon.
I hope this does not put anyone off from using the boards. I have only started using them regularly over the past month or two even though I have been a member for 3 years. It nearly put me off.
Anyway it hasn't.
Thanks for your support..
Christine

Evie,

Out of curiosity - what language do you most naturally think in? - French or English?

Dea x

P.S. - How is your family doing??? - pm me !!!

Dea x

Evie,

I think, in French - 'mine de rien' translates as something like 'though you wouldn't think so' ???

Does that make sense in your context??

Dea x

Dea - I was just having to figure out a French expression today -- mine de rien, still haven't quite got a handle on it -- and one of the things google found me was somebody saying "mine de rien", it's exhausting having to think in English!

Heh, I'll have to check a Burke's and see whether my noble nob outranks yours. ;)

I haven't given up yet. His younger brother does fit exactly into the timeframe in question, and it was supposed to have been a younger brother of ...

"crazy theories about unacknowledged births"
I think the captain had that problem once.
It 's funny you should mention that Evie.
When I was a small child my grandparents showed me a picture of my great grandfather and said he should have been the marquess of Bath but he was disinherited. It was that and a few other theories sparked my interest in family history. It was not until three years ago t joined this site and started too investigate it.
He was not the son of the Marquess of course although he was one of the few Thynnes not related. Shame. I always fancied a lion.

I 'stand corrected" Evie - It has been quite a while since I have had need to think in Spanish !!
Interesting though eh?

Dea Xxx

Christine: I'd say I'll put my sunglasses on so they won't recognize me ... but that was Geordie's trademark ...!

Just funnin' y'understand. This spaceship needs its full crew complement to fly! Otherwise all anybody would ever get here would be crazy theories about unacknowledged royal births ... hey, somebody who shall now be nameless and I would have made a great team.

I got a PM a few weeks ago from somebody I'd offered a wild theory to many months ago. Guess what. It was the truth. Her elderly husband's father really *was* the scion of a titled Irish family, who had spend the 20s roaring around in a red roadster and dabbling at business, while seducing the factory girls. Or at least one of them. And the elderly husband has now met a whole welcoming family of people he'd never suspected existed.

Dang, I like this job. Now if only somebody would get to work and find *my* relations of nobility ...

Tsk.

Tarzan didn't say anything, because he didn't recognize them.

Dea: Quien no sabe, surely. ;)

At least Tonto didn't get named that inexplicably socially acceptable word starting with a "c" used in French and Spanish for "stupid". Women and our body parts, the perfect metaphors for stupidity ...

If I remember rightly Evie the Pakleds kidnap the person they feel can help them most.
Watchout.
