HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Founded in 1795 by the Scotsman Jacob James Booth, the nursery was mainly a distributor of the novelties of the day. A price list 0f 1838 for trees and shrubs states that the nursery carried 1100 garden varieties of roses. It closed in 1884.
"Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine" of September 1829 reports the double marriages on July 22: "At No. 2, Gilmore Place, Mr. Robert M'Farlane Richmond, merchant, Glasgow, to Eliza, only daughter of the late Mr James Booth, Floetbeek, Hamburgh; and at the same time, Mr. James Godify Booth, merchant, Hamburgh, to Eliza, eldest daughter of the late Mr Joseph Thommon, Edinburgh."
