    Exclamation G---- r-------

    Afternoon everyone

    Has anyone ever used Genes r------- to trace their family history and did you find the site usefull,
    I registered this morning and everything I searched for they had no information on, I could find nothing of any use, Feeling very disappointed and let down,
    I just wondered if anyone else experienced a better service

    Regards

    George

    Hi Rammer,
    Yes!
    Useful in linking up with those who have someone on your tree.
    Haven't been a paid up member for some years now.

    Hallo again,
    If you are not happy with g...r then can you cancel sub and get a refund? You can with some sites. But if you want to persevere then try
    putting a name in to a search box and see if any matches with name/d.o.b/ place come up. Other people may be doing your tree and they may have valuable information but check everything out. There were some very helpful folk on there when I used it.
    What seems to be the problem you are having?
    One person's experience may not match another's but I did make contact with two people who had thoroughly researched a branch of my tree where I was completely stuck.
    If it is census and BDM's you want then other sites are, perhaps, more complete.
    It's a case of" horses for courses".

    I have been a standard member of that site for a good few years George.

    The secret to connecting with others is to put your tree online (I did a basic direct-line one).

    Hot matches allow you to see who is researching your family and you can then decide if you will allow them access to your tree and they will do the same. From there you can send/receive FT info privately by email.

    Since it changed hands though, I have found it less useful. The automatic hot matches and contact are less frequent and not as helpful.

    The plus side: your tree is only open to those you allow to see it and I have made contact with several close family lines.
    The down side: some folk will take and not be forthcoming with their data in return - and my pet hate, no thank you for your help, but hey, that happens on all sites and is unfortunately human behaviour, so you learn to be selective.

    Cheers, Glen

    Pays yer money and takes yer chance as they say..So many sites etc. out there claiming to have the largest search data-base. Most are pay to view but some free ones are very good at giving you snippets of info, I will always do a test by putting a well researched name in their box to see how they perform...One very well known site in particular is good at keeping you guessing,
    This is one of several genealogy forums i am a member of and has in my opinion great potential to grow..The ability to request and exchange information thus by-passing commercial sites is a godsend, not only for researching, Friends are made and just even browsing can gain you valuable knowledge and insights into the past.

    It is through a forum very similar to this that i was luckily enough to discover part of my family i did not know existed and open up an active link, it may have not been this site but no matter its proof that these forums are important and do work...
    Keep up the good work gang...

    Dear All
    Thank you so much for the response, I asked for cancellation of my contract as I only opened it that morning, I had a reply today stating that I had used their services and sent one message, I had to continue for the whole year, Live and hopefully learn,
    Please accept my apoligises for not answering sooner as hospital appointments take up a lot of time, will persevere,

    Kind Regards

    George

    rammer,
    Sorry to hear that you couldn't get a refund. That's not good. Still you can try it out . Start a tree on it with just a few names and see what response you get.
    Shame to waste it.
