I know it's Easter Sunday, but I'm having a little gripe today! It's about people who post their details on this website, then don't respond to emails. Why do they put their names here if they don't want to find other family members?????

Happy Easter to everyone

Worth bearing in mind especially at weekends and public holidays - some folk only have access to computers via internet cafes and public libraries and thus cant get to a computer when these places are shut

Dear All

I totally agree about non-responders.

But I also think that some are rude in their replies and can be
patronising.

Tracing family ancestors requires patience and thought.
Some people want instant results. It does not work like that.

I always try to reply and give as many details as
I can for a response.

Through the kindness of GR members, I found some ancestors that
I thought I would not be able to locate. I take my easter bonnet off to you!

Sorry if I seem grumpy!

Best wishes
