Will this be continued with the new owners? We have had some brilliant competitions in the past and I think that a continuation of such a theme, may bring new members as well as the current owners to realize how important this component can be to sharing our family history and the value we put...

Back by popular request, competition time is here again. Have you all managed to store your family history information so that you know where to find everything or is it scribbled on scraps of paper that are littering the dining table? The prize for this competition is a CD of Family History...

Are we having another competition ? Not had one for ages....|wave|

Over the years of researching, I have had the opportunity to visit many graveyards and cemeteries. I love reading the inscriptions on the graves – some are poignant, but others show that a sense of humour lurked beneath the sadness. This competition is about the latter. This is your...

Thank you to all who entered the really simple competition. |biggrin| It at first, seemed like a major brick wall, the type we face frequently when looking for our ancestors. However, by using the facts that you have, some walls can be knocked down very easily and that was the whole point of...

Hi All, Knowing how much you all like to get your teeth into a real problem, how about a competition? Bo Peep has kindly offered a prize to the first person who can give me the correct answer. The prize is 2 CDs from the One Stop Website List, Scottish Ancestors & Irish Ancestors. The...

After some of the fiendish competitions posted here, how about something really simple in which everyone can have a go and it doesn't involve any complicated research? I am slowly edging my way towards 10,000 postings on the forum - you lot have been very kind in putting up with my ramblings...

Here is another competition folks, and once again there is a great prize. All you have to do is read the Acceptable Use Policy which appears on a banner above all the main forums, and then read through the "Sticky" threads which appear at the top of various forums, marked with a drawing pin...

Another competition to get you visiting places around the British Isles! I was given this by an elderly aunt who wanted me to find the answers for her so that she could impress her local Mothers' Union; she decided against entering in the end because she couldn't bring herself to cheat! I enjoyed...

Can we have another competition soon? Can we, Can we? |jumphappy Even if it's just for fun and just a little one? The ones I had a go at before were brilliant because I came across so many useful sites I'd never seen before I couldn't sit still on my chair! :o Browneyes
