Hellooo, I'm here. Just getting to grasps with these message boards.

NUDGE FOR kEELEY XX

a NUDGE FOR THE NEWBIES!!!

Hi Laura x Nope not today overslept lol Lesley :~)

Hey Loopy, hows it going? Been carbooting today? Laura x

Hi, My earlier advice still stands, but the mystery is solved - they are related - one sister has taken over another's membership and we have been in contact. Caroline

Hi Laura I dont know if this is/Has been on here but I wanted to add it. When People put 'Only reply on Thread' OR 'Please no PM's' It means that they want you to reply on the message and not reply to them by Clicking on their name which ends up sending a PM / Private message / E-Mail. It is annoying when you have CLEARLY wrote this is the message but people still send them through E-mail / PM. It fills up the inbox and gets very confusing.. So you need to 1) Click on the Title. EG..'Census info offered' 2) Read CAREFULLY what the person has put in their first message.Re:Look ups offered. 3) If you think they can help you go to step 4) 4)then click on 'Add Reply' 5)then type up your message / Request on there. It will appear on the message the way you type it. So spread the message out 'as I have done' and it will be easier to read. Hope this helps someone... Good luck Lesley :~)

If you ask for help in finding a person, please give the complete name..........in the past few days, several members have been helping to look for someone, only to be told, after about 20 postings had been added to the thread, that the person found was the wrong one, because the second forename was different..................... Rose

Have just seen what you mean Caroline, why would someone change their first name? Not helpful, have you mailed her direct?

If you want a search repeated and you have changed your name please say it is a repeat but under a different name .... I have just spent time doing a lookup when I realised I had already done it, was all excited for them at the thought they may be related and it turned out to be exactly the same person .... :( :( People may be less giving of their time and resources if folk make a habit of this!! Caroline

Perharps when we add a reply to a thread that gets no answer, we could mail them and explain that they have to check the board, how to find their message and about adding replies. I've started doing that but there seems so many new peeps at the mo!!!

Always reply by clicking add reply, not by clicking the name!

Bumped for someone on the tips board

A blanket search is a large guessing search,like when someone says, I know he was born after 1856 and before 1870. Its a too large a search rather than, he was born between 1911 and 1912. It wastes loads of money on 1837 to search a large area of years. Hope that kind of makes sense!!!

What is Blanket Search ?
