Though I've posted no end of trying to find messages I've had no success for the past two days. I've gone onto the trying to find board, then clicked on the add to bit which then gives you the your names screen, but I can't get the actual message bit up. What am I doing or not doing

Margaret To post a message on the Trying To Find Board, you need to have that person in your tree. You could create a false link, post your message and then delete the false link! Complicated, I know, but the GR Site is SUPPOSED to be about finding relatives, not ole Joe Bloggs who used to work with your Auntie in the Jam Factory 30 years ago! Good luck Olde Crone

Margaret and Olde Crone - there is an easier way than creating false rellies. Go to the Trying to find board, type in the surname you want to add to. Click ''Search''. Once that board comes up -- click on the ''find smith'' tab at the top (or whatever name you chose) It then gives you the option ''If you wish to add to our Trying To Find Board then click here.'' BINGO - blank box for typing!!

Margaret, just re-read your posting. Do you want to edit/change your original postings on the TTF board? You would have to call up the board for that surname, scroll down until you found your entry and then ''update'' message. Hope that helps.

tHANKS TO YOU BOTH. I've just followed Margaret's instructions and got straight on, thanks alot for your prompt response, I should've asked sooner, then I wouldn't have been nearly as bald with tearing my hair out. Cheers to you both and a Happy New Year Regards, Margaret
