There are some absolute stars on here who do fantastic work looking up census and birth, marriage and death info. They are doing this voluntarily and sometimes it costs them not just a lot of time but also money. I try to do my bit in looking up census info and am happy to do so but PLEASE if you do ask for information and someone has spent sometimes hours finding it for you, please do not duplicate the request and have more than one person working on it for you and possibly spending units on pay to view sites for you. I dont want this to put any newbie off asking for help but please show consideration for the great people, without whom I myself would have still been only a couple of generations back. Please use only one board at a time for requesting look ups and then acknowledge the replies. If you get a good deal of info, please print it off so that you dont have to request the same info a week later. I really hope this doesnt put anyone off asking for help because people on here are the most fantastic lot I have ever found on an internet site.

Well said Heather you took the words out of my mouth . June

Well, I guess being inconsiderate is not just confined to people who arent aware.
