Thanks for that June,the posting police are on duty!!!You have been warned!!!! It is just so annoying ,my Ancestry sub is due for renewal soon,not sure I will bother with all these freeloaders about,however I am always happy to help thjose who stick to the etiquette ie post on one thread and acknowledge that they have received the reply. Mary

Hi Mary Oh my G** that one took me ages!!!!!!! What a waste of time and effort. Pity they can't be named and shamed!!!!! Cheryl

Hi Cheryl It was in Wales (Pembrokeshire)about 24/11.I found them back to 1851 and so did you. Mary

Hi Mary Shows how thick I am can you say which one!!!! I never noticed Cheryl

Last nights posting times 21.02 Mary 21.07 Pen 21.12 Jess Some people!!!!!!!!! June

Cheryl It was on your thread that I saw one of the duplicates!!! Mary

Hi I offer to do look ups for people what really annoys me is when you spend an hour looking for info for someone and you don't even get a thankyou aggh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats it feel better now Cheryl

See my thread!!! I doubt if it will make any difference,but I feel better for letting off polite steam. Mary

This is why I and a lot of others dont do many lookups these days. Too many time wasters and people who think you can find things in a few seconds with very little info. Multiple posting just confuses all involved including the poster. How the hell can they follow it, I cant and I'm only reading it. I just give up!!! Margaret

Yes I spent a lot of time on one yesterday and was just going to look for even more when I checked out the tips board and there was all the details ready done for them - obviously they hadnt even checked on someones very hard work - it wasnt an easy one.

Wish you'd have mentioned it June!! Smack on the wrist?? I send them a very polite private message expressing my displeasure!

Hi Girls, I noticed last night the same person asking 3 of you for same family look up , It is not fair, Why do they do it ? Wasting your time, smack on the wrist to them June

Now I am really cross too,I have just found 2 more that have done a multiple post,so thats two more names on the black list.GRRRRRR. Watch out dog!!!! Mary

.......Yes, I believe we were all chasing the same family. Do we all win a prize? No.... Pen x

actually I'm even crosser than i thought i was now... GGGGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

,,,,and it has just happened again I'm cross!

Even more irritating are those who post and give very vague details like possibly born Surrey no year of birth,then on another thread an hour later full deyails are supplied,when they must have had all the info all the time. Never mind Jess you do a great job and there must be hundreds of members who would have got nowhere without your help. Mary

Irritating isn't it? .as well as a waste of time. At the moment there seems to be a spate of folk, well intentioned i am sure that offer look ups...and then dont do them! That must be so irritating for the person that posted the request. -I looked for someone the other day and posted the result on the thread and got my head bitten off for doing so ! (apparently they were HER look ups!) Jess

The multiple posters are at it again.People are posting the same requests on several boards which are offering lookups.I have just wasted a good hour looking for a family which I have noticed has also been posted on another board,both requests were added within two hours of each other. What can be done to stop this happening?I like to be able to help where possible BUT I hate wasting my time and no doubt others offering lookups do to. Please DO NOT DO IT,if you post a request allow time for the request to be dealt with after all the rellies will not disappear,if they are to be found now they will still be there next week and the week after.
