The thread whooshed? How very rude. :-|

It's very frustrating, especially when you know you've found something really good.

Wouldn't it be worth starting a new thread on the Genealogy Chat board with that information on it. That way your effort might not be wasted and the whoosher would realise how foolish it was to delete too early. They may not use the General Chat board.

Ken ...........

that is a great idea.

A lot of people do not look or post on General.

My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

You,re both right but it wasn’t,t a lookup thread that went. More of a comment wanted.
