For a while now I have belonged to another forum http://www.british-genealogy.com/forums/index.php?
and when I can I do searches and help for new members.
A few weeks ago I helped a new member from Holland with her English research. She jokingly offered to search Holland records for me. I sent her the name of a Dutchman that had married into my dad's family and also mentioned my Mam was Belgian. Well it turns out that she "knows" folk with the same names and will be making enquiries
