Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 7,446 Send Message	On the A & E threads... brummiejan Request Review 20 Minutes Ago As a starry person (!) I don't think this is working. What on earth is the point? Can anyone tell me one single advantage to anybody? I am thinking of withdrawing from the whole thing. The only thing which will save the day is if the rest of the helpers become volunteers too. Jan It seems there are already problems! Hmmm T x

	but we already ARE all volunteers! just not on that thread . ......... which, when you think about it, is in fact excess to needs! As an answer to the problem that volunteers felt unacknowledged, as shown on the market survey done in the spring literally ALL that needed to be done was ....................... a statement in a very obvious place that all research was done by volunteers "and we thank them all" .............. inclusion of the fact that member to member help was available on the site in advertising and ........... to refrain from inferring in advertising that the help available on the site was by GR itself. I think that would have done the job! sylvia

	I had just PMd BrummieJan pointing out the exact same thing Sylvia,before I saw your post on here.. That we ARE already volunteers. I hope she dont take it wrong as I do like Jan and think her talent is wasted on Clinic without being able to search ALL records available online,which I also told her..

	well, it's true! EXCEPT Shirley posted this to someone asking for help with SP Judith Request Review Three Hours Ago Hallo I'm new to all this so please forgive me if this is a stupid question, but how do i look up Scottish records? Thx Judith ShirleyI,m getting the hang of it Request Review Three Hours Ago hi Its not a stupid question You need Scotlands People which is a pay to view site, 30 units cost £6 so reasonble cost 1 unit to view the ref and 5 units to view actual certs or census. later BMDS though from c1905 cant be viewed online .you have to buy the cert cos t£10 each.You will see if the ones you want are viewable or you have to buy She SHOULD have said "post some names and we'll ahve a look for you s xxx

	Ahh but I did wonder if after awhile the advisors would be advised to direct members to Brightsolid sites. After all how better to increase traffic to their other sites There I go being cynical again
