Member Since: December 2013 Posts: 19 Send Message	Hello Joy Kentish Maid. The Genes Reunited Team members monitor all community boards. Although we do not currently have a Team page on the website, the team will be at Who Do You Think You Are? Live this week on stand 631! Hi GlitterBaby. We will be posting information about our dedicated WDYTYA requests board today. We plan to leave last year’s posts, marked as answered, on the board as fantastic examples of the help that our members can offer. Speak soon Hannah

	Thank you, Hannah. I doubt that many international members of this site will be at WDYTYA. Will the Team's information be reinstated? I noticed that many people found it interesting to read about the Team; in fact, concern was expressed about the Team when the information disappeared not long ago. Thank you.

	WDYTYA Live Requests Did the Team really mean to drag up the old requests ?

	No sign of last years look ups being deleted & so far (5.20 pm ) no new requests from this year. What´s going on ?. Have there been no takers at the stand?

	There seems to be three new requests for this year up until 12.15 then it looks like they shut up shop and went home :-)
	Researching: Nothing much

	Well I think I must be missing something here as the old posts on the WDYTYA Live Requests do not appear to be marked as answered. This is pointless as members can add posts to threads marked as answered. Surely it would have been better not to have brought them back again and started with a fresh board.
