Hi all,

I totally agree!

2 days ago, I e-mailed someone who had put a query on a board 18 months ago, asking if anyone could look up a baptism in Kent. The reply he received was that there wasn't anything matching, but there was a match with a variation on the surname spelling if that was of any use. I took the chance and e-mailed the original poster, only half-expecting a reply after all that time - and yesterday I received a really friendly reply and an offer of a Gedcom file that takes a branch of my tree (my surname in fact!) back to 1650!!!

As everyone has said, the generosity of strangers is a wonderful thing and I just hope one day that I am of some help to someone!

Regards
Rachel
