*Makes swift note of duel membership number for future reference*

Jok, please dont take people for fools,

You posted under the name as Kitch then changed your boardname to post as Jok, to agree with yourself

Sorry Josephine, you do make me laugh :-) Thanks for making my night lol

pmsl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(clearly not aimed at you Mildred)

Back on subject

Many thanks for Reggie for kindly pointing members in the right direction to start their research.


xx

How embarrassing is that........

........being found out you are replying in agreement with yourself whilst posing as two different members

hahahahah !.

Jok and KITCH share the same membership number!

Unless Josephine is a common name??

Josephine you are posting as Kitch & Jok

A pretty silly thing to do especially on the Tips Board!

well you would seeing as you are the same person :-)

~~~waves to Keith - long time no see~~~~

Ooh forgets that I'm not on general any more.

It won't happen again lol

I didn't see this as criticising, just some good tips :-)

If people feel that more info is needed to help even more, there is nothing stopping people providing this information themselves if need be :-)

It is not criticism, and much help is freely given

If a question is asked by a helper such as "have you looked on IGI?" and the poster doesn't know what that means, they only have to come back and say so and help will be given to point them in the right direction for the site address.

I agree.....so much more rewarding to find info yourself if you possibly can.

hi reg
thanks for your advise, i know it would be more rewarding to find things out for yourself, but if like me you are new to all this family reseach stuff its all very confusing and some like me may not know where to start or where to look for things

Snap, Claire, lol.

Most people have heard of Google. All anyone has to do is put IGI into a Google search and the web adress will pop up.

I would think the Reg quite rightly thinks that everyone knows how to use Google plus the stickie at the top of this board should give everyone a clue!

Reg ISN'T criticising, he/she is trying to HELP. (Personally I always think of Reg as a he).

Reg spend many hours every day helping people on these boards. He is NOT criticising anyone just trying to get people to help themselves & to discover that finding things out is rewarding.
