You're much more savvy than that bloke who prattles on....and on....and on.
What's his name now? 'I'm all alone'? No 'The loony loner'? No It'll come to me soon.

What are your other usernames?
Perhaps he pays more a lot more attention to the rubbish you write than I do, which wouldn’t be difficult.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t you the guy who wrote online reviews of his own book?
Consider yerself corrected.
Once again.....
But I have written books and articles for several magazines.
Nice to be paid for writing drivel/rubbish.
That went well .
Turns out Lardy isnt that much of a fan of the "multi user"
I have a theory .
As Cyclops, you have done genealogy work for a few people on here, therefore when you want to either be too controversial or even
put these people down you don't have the bollocks to be your self ?
Your excuses about you tube , authors, Facebook, blah blah blah etc are just poor excuses.
I wonder if you fill in the blanks when doing your genealogy? I mean it doesn't really matter .
Not sure what you mean by fill in the blanks.I wonder if you fill in the blanks when doing your genealogy? I mean it doesn't really matter .
One of the reasons folk have asked me to look at their genealogy is because they've hit a problem when doing their own research.
I specialise in unravelling knots. The way to do this is to accumulate all the information that's available. This takes time. I present my reports in A4 comb-bound booklets. These are usually between 60 to 85 pages long for just one line, maternal or paternal. That's a lot of reading. I include how I've done my research, print outs of original documents, maps, census returns etc and (what really brings family history alive,) news reports.
I don't think I'm giving anything away when I say that Mrs SR's FH was extraordinary. She has a 17thC instrument maker (whose work sells for thousands today), a 19thC sweet manufacturer (who's book still sells online) who attacked a female assistant, a guy who was part of an Edinburgh gang who perpetrated 'horrible' crimes in her lines and I demolished a brickwall which baffled several researchers online. Looking at Tuerto's paternal FH was harrowing. I almost stopped because it seemed there was one terrible story after another. I'm told his mother-in-law read it over Xmas almost in tears. After a week's work I worked out there was a name change in his immediate line - he could have had a different name - and discovered why it happened. It was a completely different story with his maternal line. He is descended from Welsh knights. TBG had a specific query which involved adoption. It took some time to work this out - but again it was accumulating details that provided the key. Mark Symonds (The Alien) wanted details about his paternal line. This involved some extraordinary work which included finding three illegal marriages for different reasons among his relatives. At present I'm working on someone's FH and found that in the 19thC an ancestor was at Buckingham Palace. He was a window cleaner there! I could go on and on - but what usually happens is that I look at one line (maternal/paternal) and after submitting my report, I'm asked to look at the other line.
Is that filling in the blanks?
