The poster has numerous Abbot threads, so it’s a good idea to check to ensure lookups aren’t being duplicated

Hi Erikah
Sometimes having a duplicated thread being brought forward is a fab idea,,Especially with peeps like me keep losing the original

No need to loose the original - just go to "Tools" left hand side of the page.

Then click on "My Threads" and in that click on "Threads started by me"
A list of all the threads you've started will appear and you can then pull any one of those up and post on it, which will bring it back onto the boards.

You can go into the heading and add something like - please see (current date) and then make your post asking what you now want to know about that same family.

Helpers will then be able to carry on helping with previously found relevant info in front of them. Saves duplicating searches or perhaps going down previously found wrong paths etc
