OK, this is aimed at the forum members who have cheerfully waved hubby off to work and kids to school and are faced with the Monday chores.
This competition is much more fun and more educational than boring old housework
Only another week to go.Sue Mackay

One week and three hours left. There's nothing on telly tonight, and you won't need three hours (unless you get sidetracked by the sites some of the stickies lead you to ) so you could get it done and dusted a whole week early!

The weekend stretches before you and, in Britain at least, the weather forecast is not up to much. (Tuh!)
So, get comfy and have a rootle round the boards to find the answers to the quiz. It is really great fun and you will be amazed at what you can find out.

The Answers
Here are the answers to the competition. There were quite a few all correct, so the winner will be announced tomorrow when I have discussed the tiebreaker with the Moderators. Of course everyone who entered is a winner because they had fun and learned a lot
1. Discussion of which three subjects are not allowed on B-G, except where in direct relevance to your family history research?
Politics, war, religion
2. Why do the moderators remove or close duplicate threads?
Duplicates clutter the boards and cause confusion
3. Name two places on the British-Genealogy Forums site where there is a direct clickable link to https://www.british-genealogy.com/ and the Resource Pages.
The two places I was thinking of were the British-Genealogy.com clickable link on the blue banner at the foot of every single page, and the 'Forum' listed under the Family History banner entitled 'British-Genealogy Help Pages' which is in fact a clickable link rather than an actual forum. I think everyone got one of these, but no-one got both. However, I also accepted all the other clickable links you found, especially the one from the second post of the AUP, which showed it had been read thoroughly
4. What was the date of the 1871 census?
2/3 April
5. In what year was the father's abode and occupation added to baptisms in the parish registers of England and Wales?
1813
6. What is another name for Hundreds (a subdivision of a County) which you might find in old records?
Wapentakes
7. To which genealogical site does the Sticky on Chapman Codes refer you (via a clickable link) to find a complete listing?
GENUKI
8. Which two sticky threads in the Useful Information and Tips Forum have been rated with five stars?
Tips for Google Searching
How to Use Photobucket
9. On which Forum would you find a sticky by Geoffers on how to use the National Archives website?
Useful Online Sources
10. You are looking for a Black Sheep named Richard HACKLE. When you find him, what was his sentence for assault on 28th February 1849?
