Find Ancestors

Been busy

Not too busy to pinch a scone though!

Hi,

Can you please clarify so I don't get into trouble?!! If I am asking about the same person but a different query does it go on the same thread? And is it ok to have different threads for different members of the same family? I try to put the person's name in the title so it is easy for people to know who I am asking about, so what if some queries are about a married name and some a maiden name? Thanks!

Hi Phillipa,

What you have to bear in mind is that if you ask a question say on Tom Smith for example - In order to try to help you we first look at Tom and then we follow him backwards and forwards through the census's, looking at his family, his wife, his children, his brothers, sisters, and his parents etc. so that we get a picture of his family so that we can make sure that anything we find connects properly to the correct person (as far as we possibly can without certs).

So - If you start a new thread, say regarding his brother, we will do the whole thing again but we will be duplicating the searches and finding the same family info which has already ben posted on the other thread.

This is where people get frustrated as they find they have wasted perhaps hours of their time and effort for nothing.

Therefore you should keep all the queries on the same family together on the one thread and then all this info is together for people to see.

Different queries for the same person should be added to that same thread for the very same reason.

If you want to ask a question about his wife, Mrs. Smith you can always update the title of the thread by clicking on 'edit' in your first post and change it for example to 'Tom Smith, Bedford 1841' to Tom Smith / Ann Smith (nee Jones) Bedford.

Hope this helps.... + welcome to the community boards. :-D

Well put Dea

Philippa

Don't beat yourself up if you made an error. Now you know, how the boards work

:-)

Thank you! Slowly getting used to forums...one day I will know what I am doing, but I am very grateful for all the lovely people on GR who answer what must sometimes seem (to them) very obvious questions so patiently.

Hello again, all you lovely people.

I just have to ask, Dea, what is a Canadian cookie?

Since I live in Canada all of the cookies that I eat are Canadian cookies so what are your Canadian cookies?

I am shattered .

Had the girls till 6.30pm.

We had a busy day. O made a pompom for her little baby cousins hat that I am knitting. She loved doing it and now wants me to teach her to knit.

Maybe in a couple of years lol

We then made lemon drizzle cake (snap Dea) and chocolate crispies.

I will sleep tonight :-)

Hi Margee :-)

'My' Canadian Cookies are make from plain flour, Rolled oats, dessicated coconut, butter, sugar and golden syrup + a tiny bit of bicarb of soda and hot water to mix at the end.

They come out golden brown and deliciously crisp but very slightly chewy when you bite through.

They are still my son's favourite after almost 40 years.......

Morning,

Ate my breakfast while I was on the phone trying to get through to toy store.

Phoned them 25 times before I got through :-|

Long story short. I ordered using the click and collect system. They then sent email to cancel order saying out of stock.

It was still showing on web so I phoned the store last night. They said if I phoned at 9am this morning they would check stock and if any in would put aside

When I got through I got a stroppy guy who said yes stock in (said it was in last night ) so we go through all the why didn't they just put one aside last night/why was it cancelled if you have stock?

He said he couldn't put one aside but I could come and get one. :-P

Lets just say I can be stroppy too and he did put one aside ;-)

My SIL stays 5 minutes from store and has been and collected it for me.

Now I am going to look to see where I send complaint and to get my cash back from paypal :-)

Stroppy...you!

Can you put things into perspective please, you jump from thing to another............just like in Liverpool!

;-)

Good morning all :-)

Anyone for a full English ??

It is just about ready................... scrambled eggs, sausages (veggie or pork) crispy bacon, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, fried bread................

Enjoy................. <3 <3

Dea Xxx

I'll have the full vegi option please :-D

Mprnin~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nite night all !!!!

Dea Xxx

Gins.

I only posted about the toy store nothing else to put into perspective ????

Yes I can get stroppy especially when someone keeps talking over me. I am the customer and they have taken the money form my account

Been busy we were out for dinner last night then we had the girls today to let son and DIL finish their Christmas shopping.

I would love to get to the shops to get mine done ;-)

Hope you got that complaint sent off Linds - Such bad service 'should' be complained about !!!

I have done a lovely cheese and mushroom quiche for breakfast - you can have it with bacon or a fresh green salad.................. <3

See you later,
