Youse is fickle miss


You used to luv meeee

I love you too Suemaid... <3

It is so true that the boards are much less busy, as TF and RR have posted


I can remember coming on to GR at about 8 pm UK time ............. and I'd have to go back 8 or 9 pages to find the last thread on which I had posted about 12 hours earlier

and they were also very busy through the UK night, with overseas members posting and asking questions ........... even a few UK insomniacs


...... I nearly said "the odd UK insomniac" :-D :-D


It was so much fun then

Persie reticent? :-D :-D :-D

Gins - I have read a number of threads you have posted and always found them worth reading. Keep on keeping on :-)

It is a shame that the boards aren't as busy as they used to be, as TootyFruity said. It used to be that if you were helping even if all the helpers were 'out in force' so to speak, there were still plenty of queries popping up to keep everyone busy.

The same is true of all the boards even Chat nowadays you only have to look back to page two to catch up on the day's threads whereas a few years back you had to go much further back. Not always matters of much import , but plenty of choice to suit all tastes lol.

oh well


I guess making you laugh is something

I have 9 pages of threads that I have started since 2004 .......

................ that's almost 180 threads :-D

SylviaInCanada omg you really make me laugh <3 <3

I most certainly was NOT issuing an order, from oversea, or from outer space!

In fact, I am most offended that you should think so!


I was making a joke, about not encouraging Gins any more

We are all, in fact, encouraging Gins by posting on "her" thread, because we have all found something of interest to say!


I can't help it, if your sense of humour is different from mine.

I was intending to be nice.

Jax I have 98 pages of threads I have started lol. The first was back in October 2006, and it was a query about someone on the 1901, Reggie helped me with some good advice and oddly enough 7 years later I have just found out some info pertaining to the query lol.

I have started eight threads and I joined in 2004.

I am very reticent ....... well most of the time.

TootyFruity, Martyn's link was very useful I think I have found my gt gt grandfathers probate there, can't be 100% as there were a lot of Keatings but the age matches well and occupation.

Each to their own of course, I am sure many of the things that interest me leave others cold :-)

I have had a look to see how many threads I have started since 2010....30....There were probably a few more that got deleted just incase some relatives found them and tried to contact me :-D

SylviaInCanada wow sounds like an order from across the seas......lol :-D :-D

I can encourage anybody I like - we are all equal on the boards - being nice is the key component of life.

RR & TootyFruity tushay.

If somebody doesn't accept to be told off like a child then one has to live and let live.

I think its a shame that the boards are not as busy as they once where. Remember the days when posts where off the first page within an hour. I don't think they have ever recovered from when this board was renamed from Genealogy Tips, which in my opinion was a far better name.

I don't understand the need to post for the sake of it or to try and fill a board to make it look busy with inane posts however I do enjoy helping others.

However I recognise that we all find different things interesting. If I had a like button I would of liked Rambling Roses post earlier with the link to the article about the adopted person's experience of having two dads and Martyn's link to the Irish Wills and Probate on family search coming online on 7 June.

Also on the same vein, what I find inane others may find to be the most interesting thing they have ever posted. ;-)

Spot on, RR

yes indeedy. One learned gentleman of my past acquaintance who came closest to 'knowing it all' , a really towering intellect imo, was the first to say he was learning all the time, and never wanted that to stop.

You can always spot a 'know it all' anyway, they never listen to anyone...and if by chance they do listen they don't actually 'hear'. :-D

NanaSue .................


I really don't think Gins needs any encouragement to post or start threads ................



she's a very prolific helper on GR, has been for at least 6 years

Just look at the number of her posts for proof of that.



Please don't encourage her any more :-)
