people who have been kind, nice, thoughful, caring to you over the last year. There are lots of people I would like to thank but would give special mention to Carol who helped find my birth Father, Alison in Shropshire for her help in look-ups, Lynda for her jokes and Misty, Poppy and Tracy, not forgetting Mum Anne, for a jolly good laugh the last few nights. Thanks also to all those other people to numerous too mention. You know who you are. Gerry

I cannot believe only three of us have anything nice to say about anyone. I am sure if I was having a "go" at someone there would be 50 postings by now. Sad

Don't be despondent Gerry! Your thread's only been up a short while and people are probably not online yet--hopefully this will get longer. It's nice to see a positive thread up here! I'd like to thank Susan and Francis, who provided me with a tonne of information on my family--then turned out to be distant cousins! Also thank you to Lisa, my Aussie pal, who did loads of research for me--including searching Norfolk graveyards for me when she was supposed to be on holiday! Thank you too to my family and friends who supported me through a big year of transition! Sal

To my kids, without whom I would not have had a reason to get throught the last 3 months. They're too young to realise what a difference they made. And my son's interest in our family history (despite him being only 6) gave me renewed interest in that too. Angela

I have made many many friends on the site i would just like to say to you all who know me a big thank you, I have met some of you and spent many a happy hour chatting online , me i can talk for England.What more can i say im lost for words Margaret

MAZ how come my failing frienship is 4th on list LOL sorry I mean unfailing pmsl I would like to say a big thank you to all who have kept me going while my mum was in hospital FRED you have been a Gem BAZ you are just crazy LOL. LINDY FROM ALGARVE well what can I say,GLITTER BABY thank you for your kind words. And most of all my hubby and 2 kids for putting up with me!!!!! HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL Love Debs

Also big thank you to Gaynor for being our strength on this board and Donna for all the love and kindness she has shown Gaynor two wonderful women LOve Debs.

Always have to be careful when naming names, as there's the risk of leaving out someone special!! My very first cyber-friend on GR was my beloved Gaynor, so special to me. And Lindy in the Algarve who found my living (birth) uncle in South Africa within hours. There are many others on GR who I also spend happy times with on messenger, so you know exactly who you are! Personally, my mum and dad are the best, they have been fantastic in adopting me and giving me such a good start in life, and this year they have met and accepted my wonderful brother as part of the family. My husband and my son who support and encourage me in everything I do, they accompanied me on my search for my birth family and never complain at how much time I spent on GR & family history. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you, love Mandy :)

Thats better guys. You have restored my faith in the human kind!!

I would like to say a Big Thankyou. to everyone who has helped me over the last year. As other people have said there are many of them to name... but with out their help I would be stuck.. up against that wall. Also can I say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone on here.. Love Pat x

Hi Gerry, What a nice thread,my list would take up a whole page Im sure,I too would like to thank so many of the kind people for the lookups,putting me on the trail of my search for my father,I am only days away now,waiting for a letter from someone who holds all the answers for me. I am due to renew my membership in 2 days time,which I certainly will. Then I will shout it all from the rooftops. Thank you everyone. Happy Christmas, and a Healthy new Year to you all. trish xxxx

I would like to say a big thank you to my husband, Paul. He is the most kind generous person I know. He is patient when I was going through a really bad patch and never questioned anything. He is a fantstic father and I couldn't imagine life with out him. I would also like to thank our families for the support and help that they have given us and thank everyone on here for the help they have given me. One last thing........I hope you all have a very happy Christmas and New Year. Nicola xx
