Greetings to all from cold and snowy Michigan, I'm fairly new to the site and so I just thought I'd say HI, I can't believe the volume of chat and messages on here.... you lot got nothing better to do????!!! (Its my lunch break so I can be condescending!) I've been doing genealogy research for about 4 years now and have got back to 1809 on my Dads side (with a lot of gaps), and the 1850's on my mams side. Originally from Durham (England) but have lived in America for 10 1/2 years. Bye for now, Brenda (RG) Oh, the nickname... own 2 older British cars and volunteer at a local race circuit during the summer. Car mad, can't help it, sorry! |

Hi Brenda, I see a bit of Michigan these days on the T.V., watching "Animal Cops Detroit". Our kids wish we could have that amount of snow sometimes! Nice to "meet" you. Glenys. |

Hi Brenda, and welcome...... You'll find loads of different topics appearing on this board; some sad, some humorous, some rather risque (mostly from the females [nearly forgot myself and called them "ladies"!]). Now and then something controversial is posted, and the claws become unsheathed; all hell breaks loose. Best bet is to keep away from that thread. All in all, we are a very friendly bunch, and if you need advice on (almost) anything just ask, and someone will come up with a solution, or make your problem worse!! Brian, ;-x) |

Thanks for all the kind words, I need to clarify a bit here... I initially joined GR right after it started but found nothing of use at that time. I was finding other info I needed on other sites and let this membership lapse. I rejoined last Dec, and so many people are now here that I've been contacted twice already so it's better for me now. Glenys - your kids are welcome to the 6" of snow we got yesterday, tell them to come and get it! Christine Houselander - Have American friends with that surname. Fred - ptfg?? wtf I know, but what is that? To everyone else, thatnks for the welcome, will try and post often, but must get back to work right now as lunch is over! Brenda |
