Happy Happy Birthday Talking Scot.
I remember the first night we started chatting in the forum. I couldn't get the URL to work ( turned out to be my puter) only way I could get in was to click on someone elses link. I kept that up for weeks till we decided to delete me and let me start fresh. It didn't work. After spending a weekend with 3 IT guys still no luck. It was my daughters friend 2 doors down who sat at my puter and uploaded something and whosh. I have never had a problem getting in or out or round about since. Another added bonus was I didn't have to print pages from SP to keep a copy any more. Whatever she added I was now able to save the images to my computer and open and close when I wanted. ( I still keep paper copies of course.
We have all come a long way from those first days when we were finding our way about. And I know that what Talking Scot has created here is by far the best scottish genealogy site online.
Raise your glass to TS and all its members. Cause its the people that make it what it is.
[cheers]

I have had so much help from everybody either directly or getting hints from other people's postings.


I do wish there was an equivalent to help me with my English husband's family!! [sigh]
