	I quite like these that I have seen on other sites re forum etiquette: There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps. - Please treat other users with respect. - Please ensure your reply is constructive and adds to the discussion. - To avoid misunderstandings, please don't use 'txt spk' and try to ensure your post is relatively typo-free.

	Hi All Another little thing to add: Please tell us what info you need and also what you already have. If you have birth, marriage or death certificates try to give the details. If you've found someone on a census post the info. If you're not sure how true a detail is, tell us e.g. 'Aunty Ann thinks he was born Yorkshire, but he lived all his life in London so I'm not sure where he was born', rather than born Yorkshire. Remember you know what you know but we don't, so we need as much help as you can give to use our knowledge to find the missing bits. Happy searching and may all your brick walls be little ones :-) Regards LfW
