Does this man NOT understand that Sue has said in the past, "you are welcome to imitate my designs but the pierced edging is MY signature. That way people will know it's from me and not anyone else." If this man is going to copy exactly he should be made aware of this infringement. The cheek of him and good for Maria for not wanting to swap. If he didn't want to win that prize, he shouldn't have left a comment for that draw. I read his comment and it was only ten words long if that. <br />Now I will need a weak milky Yorkshire tea with a breakfast biscuit.<br /> Hugs to all Cheryl xxxcheryl brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890543787200668122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-64147616888197104982015-02-16T23:11:44.951+00:002015-02-16T23:11:44.951+00:00Hi Cheryl, I have got back to1775 with one branch,...Hi Cheryl, I have got back to1775 with one branch, but as I am sure you know once you get back to 1841 it starts to get very tricky. What I find fascinating is how you start with a really tenuous link and it develops from there. My great grandfather was called Isaac Indian Ellis. He was a spiritualist preacher and we always believed from tales we were told, that Indian was a reference to his spiritual guide. However, after extensive research, I found out Indian was his mothers maiden name and as Isaacs parents weren't married it was given to him as a middle name. She only appeared once on the 1881 census when he was 6 and died shortly after, so finding her was really difficult. On that census she gave her name as Ellis (pretended they were married) but fortunately said where she was born. There were only a couple of Susannah's born at that time and in that small place and one was a Susannah Indian. Bingo. I did more research to verify it and it was her. It took me months, but the satisfaction was amazing and gave me a whole new branch to follow. I love it.<br />Hope your cold has finally cleared up.<br />Hugs Saba<br />Tooth Fairy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102182308435269314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-72319245559653774772015-02-16T22:16:15.661+00:002015-02-16T22:16:15.661+00:00Hi Saba, yes it is very rewarding when you track d...Hi Saba, yes it is very rewarding when you track down some distant relatives. Pete never knew much about his Mum's side of the family. All I knew from him was that she had left her Liverpool family when she was about 17 1/2 to come to London. Her family had engaged a PI to track her down but then the war started and they completely lost sight of her and with so many records being lost due to the Blitz, the trail went cold and she never spoke about them. She died in 1973. After we had our 2000 reunion, I got so fed up with his sister and himself saying "we must find out about Mum's family" and not doing anything, that I wrote to the editor of the Liverpool Echo asking if he could publish my letter on their personal ads page. Not 10 days later I hit the jackpot and had a lovely email from his Cousin Norma saying "At long last we've found you!" they had never stopped looking for Dollie and we have been in touch right up til Pete's death in 2013 even visiting them. It was as though we had always known them. Norma, hubby Roy and son Richard made us so welcome. Unfortunately Norma died in Jan and Roy passed away Aug of last year. Richard is still in contact with me so at least I can hear of their news. And we found other relatives in Liverpool too.<br />So if ever you are stuck try what I did, most people read their local newspapers and even if you don't contact the family, someone somewhere might have news of them to assist you.<br />Good luck with your research, as you say it's highly addictive.<br />My Dad has traced his family back to their roots way back to the 1700's and Mum's family to the late 1600's.<br />hugs Cheryl xxxcheryl brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890543787200668122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-7706219362081993282015-02-16T22:05:09.052+00:002015-02-16T22:05:09.052+00:00Its just a little odd that he copies every last de...Its just a little odd that he copies every last detail, its kind of taking the 'p**s'!

Sue must know, she isn't daft, she sees the extra posts at give away times!<br />maybe she wants to attract more people to the blog and hope that once they have won they will stay, but sadly it doesn't work like that, some people have no morals, they will take it and run, without giving a s**t about Sue, now that really does make me angry! it makes you want to go anonymous and 'haunt' them!<br />they didn't mind doing it to Sue.<br />Paul said pretty much the same as Seph's Andy or that there should be a certain few days that you have to blog on to qualify, without promoting when it is, that way those of us who blog most days will qualify automatically and those just pitch up and launch time will be stuffed! Let them think they are commenting to win!<br />It just hurts to get the feeling that Sue feels hurt or let down!<br />anyway I am getting all wound up again!<br />Love and hugs<br />Sandra <br />xxxxxxSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200010622107370353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-46207065252828171232015-02-16T21:27:59.803+00:002015-02-16T21:27:59.803+00:00Hi Theresa

Barbara seems a nice lady but her style is just not for me although I admire some of it , I have no wish to copy it. She is on C&C a fair bit and it does seem to get watched. Ladies I think we're part of a select group and we need to do our best to promote our lovely Sue.

I think the problem is that not everyone realises that in order to win, you have to have public votes, it's not a jury or panel that decides, but the voters and even though we all love Sue to bits, I bet not everyone made the connection that in order for her to win you to go online and vote for her. I imagine Clarity stamps made all their members aware, but Sue being Sue was probably too shy ( not sure if that is the right word) to go out and canvass for votes. Next year we need Stephs soap box in advance to tell all her loyal supporters on the blog just how important it is. Mind you, the free wheelers won't bother anyway, so we can't count on them.<br />Hugs SabaTooth Fairy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102182308435269314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-25163332284777693562015-02-16T20:26:51.517+00:002015-02-16T20:26:51.517+00:00Hi Brenda,
