Has anyone ever received this? If so, when and what sort of material did it contain? I've had the box ticked in 'My Account' to receive the newsletter, but I don't recall ever having received one and I've been a member since early 2003.

I have certainly had one fairly recently - read it and deleted it, as it was a thinly disguised advert for GR, FR, and the 'new' Records available at an outrageous cost on GR - or should I say, via GR. You haven't missed much. OC

Thanks Olde Crone. That confirms it IS different to the New Names Alert emails I receive. I use mailwasher so I can glance through to check nothing is acidentally deleted before it reaches my inbox, so it wouldn't have been lost at that stage. I certainly never received the message you mentioned, nor did I receive the Users' Survey. I wonder what else I haven't received either?

Yes, I received it. Sometimes the ISP treats it as spam.

I remember one telling me that they were sponsoring Dinosaurs on ITV. Nothing about 'improvements' to the site. I also once joined friends and received one recently with a link to their dating service and potential matches to a collection of sad looking sixty year olds. Luckily I am happily married. Interestingly it contained an offer to subscribe to friends for twelve months for £7.50 the old price, usual price £7.50 for six months. The news letters from Lost cousins (free) and ancestry are always very informative.
