Maybe they have been researching all this time but have not posted on the boards? In that sense they are new...to the boards. |

Think we have a bit of a mixture, some are Newbies with very old numbers but they've not got around to doing any work & others are just trying to do a tree without spending any money, time or effort!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Perhaps it's just me being a bit uncharitable then! I find though that I'm reasonably happy helping the genuine newbies but I do get a bit impatient with the older newbies! |

Claire - yes - but the ones who don't want to pay out for anything make themselves known fairly early on. I always try to get certs for direct lines and have managed to in most cases (damn you granddad!) but I don't worry too much about siblings, uncles etc, so I do understand the odd request asking for help when there is no direct link. But when it's their grandparents! I mean, they will need the evidence won't they? |

Jill, was it you who was maybe going to get to find out about my John Little for me? I know it was a Jill, and it was Kent but i don't seem to have heard any more. if it was you and you have not been able to get there please don't worry. No problem, he has been a mystery for so long now a bit longer wont hurt. Or was it the birth of Sarah Little? a couple of months now can't remember, both a mystery. |

I was a member for two years before I realized there were discussion boards ... did tree searches, met cousins, checked out those hot matches (aha, a new batch awaits me). Didn't post until less than a year ago. |

I found the general topics board way too soon so my research is very patchy and haven't got far back at all. |

I am not sure how long I had been a 'member' before I discovered the boards, but I think we had to subscribe to play on the boards didnt we? and I was a non-subscriber initially. |

Hello Jill in Kent - I wouldn't exactly call my self a newbie as such, but still not versed in everything. I only bought my lap-top last spring,and joined Genes in the middle of last year. At first I just used TTF,Tips and Records. For a while I didn't realise the significance of General and Chat, and also admit that I upset someone early on because I didn't realise how everything' worked' After all, the site doesn't come with a 'how to do' manuel. I do buy pay-to- view vouchers for Ancestry, and have sent for my fair share of certificates,wills and maps. But, and it is a big but, I wouldn't call myself experienced either. This goes for both genealogy and the technicalities of using the computer, so I read all threads, and hope to learn 'on the hoof' as they say. |
