Am I overstepping my bounds?
I am a retired professional genealogical researcher. I pay for the Ancestry.com site in order to help others for FREE. I am tired of having to write individual answers to offer this service. If I am not doing anything against Yahoo rules I am making this open message here. In case it is not proper I will abide by the answers I see and go back to the individual asker replies.
I don’t understand this have you got a violation for helping or something. Are you offering help ?. Its like everything else Winifred you have to prove your worth. There are some really good researchers from both sides of the pond , for the USA, there’s Ted Packer? HSK’ s mom spring straight to mind, then for the UK there’s itsjustme, Ben the bus, Fengirl, all of these have a very good record for research itsjustme is the UK’s number one and deserves to be, she’s good. So if you want to get noticed then start helping and stop griping, get your self a good name.
