I hope not,Reggie!! Hahaha

Clover(or like Erin mentioned,Betty) helped me a lot when I started my family tree...she even went the extra mile,and got me cert copies from Dublin,when she was in looking for herself.

I must see can I find here home address and see if she's ok.

Thanks Erin.................live and learn. But I'd never come across the name.......................seemingly only posts on 'Irish' threads, which I don't look at.........ONLY because I have no connections there, ...............nothing sinister...lol!

I don't think we will ever get back to the fun place Genes used to be.

Reggie is correct .......the troll is unpredictable, and unstable.

Trying to be good but sick of sitting on my hands ;-)

Elaine do not be put off posting by the person or persons who is randomly reporting threads. Think of it as that they have a problem or that they think your post is very interesting and they wish to share it with GR staff. ;-)

The more people that post then the more likely the boards will get back to being a fun place to be.

There're links to 5 cemetery indexes in the left margin at:

Reggie - nowadays, in spite of their being "no valid reason to report your post", there's still a fair possibility of it being reported.

Even if it was a Genealogy site, there would be no valid reason to report your post

I have picked up one or two bits and pieces which helped my research,and found people looking for same family,on Wigan World
There are also photos of Wigan from years ago,cemetery records(for Wigan only).all in all it is very interesting
It is NOT(!!!) a Genealogy site,so please don't report me,..its just where like- minded people can chat amongst themselves.
People on there know the area like the back of their hand,and will help anyone tracing in the area.
