Would anybody agree with me that GR should set up a new board where people could post on separate County threads. Then when somebody finds websites etc or prepared to do research in a particular area it would be easier found ?

Good idea in principle laptop, but knowing how these boards are, it runs the risk of being divisive...

Laptop

It's a good idea. So very unlikely to happen on here!!

T.O.R. ;o))

Thats easy Just put e.g. Herts useful sites on tips,,, please add ? do that with each county and Bobs your uncle

We could do with searching for living rellies, and or adoptive parents etc.

Lindsey, I have done that previously, but of course if nobody adds for a while then they gradually disappear off first few pages then people do not realise they exsist, but if searchers knew there was a board just for them then maybe they would search a little further or even start one.

Actually on tips that would work, or as a tips type board. I take back what I said in my first post, I thought you meant generally, sorry.

DO you mean they want their whole family tree delivered on a silver platter tied up in shiny ribbons without actually looking for it ?!!
Shock horror!!!

Teresa, my thought is that if it was a board dedicated to this type of thread then maybe GR could arrange them in alphabetical order then sticky them so easy to find ?

Lindsey, I think sometimes people need some help or assistance within the area they are searching and some tips on where to look are always gratefully received.

Good idea, but far too many county boundry changes over the centuries it would all become very confusing, perhaps they could simplfy it in some way

(above post deleted as duplicated - sorry)

Colin, that is a good point, but I am sure there is a way of overcoming that. Certainly it has caused a problem for me as the family lived on Welsh border which seemed to move when wind changed direction !

What I wish they would do...... is STOP sending me the same names over and over again in my HOT MATCHES.

The ones that match, have been matched. So why do they keep sending them?
I have about 17 pages and about four people on it in my trees.
