No-one who has contacted him has ever said he was of any real help - in fact, the reverse is true |

Realistically an hour is not enough in any case, 6 people maybe ask a difficult question that can only be answered in very brief generalities in their 10 minute 'slot'. |

i seem to remember that 2 or 3 years ago, GR and Mr Adolph DID promise they would make a point of referencing the help that was available on the Baords from members. |

I think GR only have him on here so that they can say that they employ a professional family historian. |

AA is window-dressing for GR |

I often find the advice he gives is vague or simply wrong and have emailed Genes in the past to say so. I do think, though, that it's better to point people into finding the information themselves rather than asking questions on here and having it all done for them |

Well I didn't find him any help at all when asking where I should try to find info on my German grandfather and his family who came to the UK in the 1880 ,s |

Perhaps it would be better for GR to state that AA will give general advice during his sessions but, if people would like more personal assistance, then they should post a query on the Find Ancestors board. |

The problem is Cynthia, that it is so much easier for helpers to reply to specific questions about particular people than to give general instructions. |

I think the problem is that people want to solve problems for people who post - almost as though it's a race-rather than just give them advice |
