<p>I'm not sure why this old thread was resurrected a few weeks ago. </p>
<p>I think that it is hard not to become interested in the people you chat with daily or weekly. I think that chat rooms can also easily become a place where people feel left out, perhaps sometimes because they don't share a lot of common interests with the others. Personally, I am interested in the people I'm talking to and while I come here primarily to learn and share genealogy knowledge, I also like knowing things…</p>

<p> Although I differed with the comments about the paranormal chat as I use divination and other methods in combination with the traditional academic, I do agree with the comments that there is an enormous amount of non-genealogy chat going on in the room. Cooking, family, whining about their lack of money to pay for their "genealogy" hobby, medical issues, etc. are running rampant, and particularly in the evening. Even the genealogy chat is dominated by the same people and very cliquish. </p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I just joined this site a day or so ago. I found it by googling gen blogs. I am quite impressed with the chat room. I came here to have a place to blog and found the chat room to be a complete surprise. I personally don't want to be in a stuffy room where the conversation is so stiff I cannot be myself. I'm not a gen expert or looking for anyone to "help" me, but the offers were wonderful. I was offered, look-ups, help and turned onto some very good info. Lea, perhaps instead…</p>

Lea, perhaps instead of being a stalker of the room, why don't you try introducing yourself and making nice with the other folks. It is my understanding that their are weekly chats, but the moderator was sick, it happens.

<p>I realize this is beating a dead horse, to quote someone else but your statement that "actual, solid research" precludes any application of the paranormal is wrong. I am a researcher by profession (thirty years in the legal field researching, documenting, and analyzing documents in probate, real estate, etc.) and an academic with an extensive education. My research techniques are impeccable, meticulous, and hands-on, in other words, everything is documented, cited academically, and analyzed in a socioeconomic and historical context with the ultimate goal of publication. On the other hand, as a student of various esoteric subjects including past lives, divination, psychometry, and mediumship, I have learned to use these tools in my work with successful results. When the information is not forthcoming in a conventional means, thinking outside the box, working from having the data in-hand to documentation is a solution. Don't limit yourself with ignorance of different techniques. Study them, apply them, see if they work for you. This is not a "side hobby," but a research skill. </p> The majority of the talk on t…tag:www.genealogywise.com,2012-08-03:3463583:Comment:4573122012-08-03T03:55:34.734ZStephanie Annhttp://www.genealogywise.com/profile/StephanieAnn

I personally on the FIRST day after I <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">INTRODUCED</span></strong> myself was warmly greeted and asked who I was researching and found I had a connection to a few of the members and have been offered help from multiple members to help me climb a brick wall in my tree, and I see help being doled out on the regular.In fact there are people in chat right now helping out one another on a shared line. As a "Rookie" researcher, I have learned so much from the more experienced researchers from just interacting in the chat. The chat is a wonderful place, but you have to do more then just lurk.

I've been doing legal research for thirty years, have an extensive college education, and have also formally studied the paranormal at The Learning Light Institute in Anaheim, CA. In past months, I combined academic and professional knowledge and experience and knowledge acquired over fourteen years of study in new age/paranormal subjects (particularly dowsing and divination when it comes to my genealogical research). I have located the two graves of a 4xggrandfather and grandmother that were to now unknown, acquired dates of birth, death, relationships, and other information that was subsequently confirmed.

Have you been able to find anything else out about Rachel LEE? Who was Rachel's daughter which led to you, as my line comes down through her daughter Martha, to John WOODS, to Ruben ROGERS, thru their daughter Fanny Luella ROGERS to William Booker BAILEY, to their daughter Rena Luella BAILEY NAVARRETTE. I can not find anything on Rachel beyond her marriage to John YORK in 1805 Rutherford, County, NC. Be interested to see if you can find anything, as none of us cousins seem to get to Rachel to any LEE's back before 1805! Seems she sprung full-grown to marry him in 1805...not possible, I know...but still..thanks for your help!
