Just had a newsletter from Genes telling me that they are sponsoring an ITV children's programme on dinosaurs and there was I thinking I was doing well to get back to the sixteenth century on one branch of the family. Seriously though if they have money to spare why not spend it on improvements to the site.

hmmmn, seems the owners are trying to cash in left right and centre, advertising they have this record and that record when they dont, I dont believe that they realise the actual success that these boards do reap, and as for the adverts on sat night, well, that is sooooo misleading about time they spent some money improving things!!! YOU BET!! Julie

This connection with Dinosaurs is such a joke! What has it to do REALLY with genealogy? What a waste of our money....... Allie ps Perhaps there are a few 'dinos' on these boards though! (only joking)

I can only hope it is EDucational.

Surely if GR increase awareness by any means, more people will join and we all then benefit from the increased chance of matching with others' trees. Or am I missing something?

Perhaps ITV don't realise that GENEALOGY is not the same as GEOLOGY.

I hope not. Din O'Saur sounds Irish and you know how difficult Irish ancestry is to trace!

Hi All My children love this programme and it promotes GR so like has already been said will attract more to the site and so increase our chances of making connections. I got back to grumpeosaurus - my grt gran lol Kaz :o))
