Find Ancestors

I wondered whether Michael was going to start leaving his trademark post in such opportune places as this:

eats shoots and leaves

;)

but apparently he choked on the first one!

Try reading the Success Stories board. It's amazing what GenesReunited does for people!! Funny how you never see them round the boards here ...

must say that that reply took my breath away!


I guess it all comes down to the misinformaiton that GR promotes


They never actually say that all help on here is provided by members, using their own memberships, subscriptions and money, do they?

Nor that the members help because they love to help, and enjoy the hunt to find hiding ancestors.

Not to mention the chance to educate newbies to the hobby in how to find things for themselves, and thus get more satisfaction.


The implication is that GR carries ALL the records you might need (false!), and that they have the help available .... with the inevitable assumption that said help is paid to be available 24/7, and of course never need any civilities such as Please or Thank You.


the words false and advertising come to mind!

Astra,

No need to apologise,if they can't use Please and Thank you then I don't think anyone should do look ups for them and she had some cheek..

Sorry I kicked that off folks. Just totally exasperated with the lack of manners and respect.
Costs nothing to say please or thank you after all and to demand information like that is totally out of order in my book.
My apologies again.

Astra

Any help much appreciated........

Should read
"Any help much expected"

George and why would GR do that.It's only good manners to say PLEASE and THANK YOU...

These people that can't use their maneers were'nt brought up they were dragged up....lol

Michael

i know exactly how you feel, there are times when i could make comments about the lack of manners by some posters, but i think i would be heading for a GR holiday.

Also when people ask for a look up on the 1911 census and say " anyone have spare credits" dont they realise its people who have a subscription, that do these look ups, they certainly dont know the cost of credits to view the records

Michael,,,

Glorified Servants .........

George -
It's not the lack of a brown envelope - it's the total lack of manners that gets me.

Talk about "Who do you think you are ?
Who the * bleep bleep* do these people think WE are?

Oh I wish I had a brown envelope too..It would save the government money in disability payments

Michael

Choking on your reply !!!!!!!!, do you mean to say you dont receive your "Brown Envelope" from GR, perhaps i shouldnt have let the cat out of the bag.just opened mine and counting the contents LOL

George

Kp*#[f*c ....Sorry, just choking ....

"thought you were here to help people"
