    Default Wanting to start a new thread

    Sorry to post here but how do you enter a new thread? I am new and don't see where I can do it.


    Thanks. Kevin

    Hello Kevin and welcome to the British-Genealogy forums.

    First of all I have moved your post to the Introduce Yourself forum so it now has a thread of its own with the title 'Wanting to start a new thread'

    At the moment we are experiencing some difficulty with viewing the Forums page which shows all the individual forums on our site and from which you can choose the most suitable for your query.
    The best way to get to the Forum page (bearing in mind I don't know from which page you are actually accessing BG) is to scroll down to the bottom of the page and in the blue bar look for Home. Click on this and it will take you to the Forums page. Scroll down the page until you find the one you think is most suitable, but don't worry too much as a Moderator can always move it if needs be.

    Me too Kevin. I cant seem to find anything that lists the forums, or where to find them. I am trying to figure out some lost information on Walsh Family in Dartford Kent, and how Grandmother (Vera Constance Waterman) married one Walsh (William A) but had a child (John Peter) to a different Walsh (Charles). I cant just pop down to the records office from New Zealand.

    Hi Kiwi_Walsh
    having just answered your post about Vera and William it is evident you sorted out the problem of seeing all the forums on one page. Did you click on Home in the blue bar at the bottom of the page?

    I subscribe to this query. Despite being a member here since I was in short trousers I seldom start new threads but every time I try to do so I struggle to find out or remember how to do so (perhaps a problem of memory now that I've graduated to long pants). It's not at all apparent how to do it. Food for thought maybe?

    First decide in which forum you want to post your query, and then click on that forum.
    Across the page you have blue banner beginning 'today's posts'.
    Underneath that there's a beige-y strip which says 'forum', followed by the name of the forum.
    Then a link to FWR.
    And underneath that, a little beige box which says 'start new thread'
    Click on it.

    I think that you've just made my point Pam
