Who knows??

Maybe thought I and others were employed by GR although she did mention volunteers.

Thats why mostly if someone asks a question like

'can someone find a birth or a death ect'


If I reply that is all they get...I don't feel I need to do their tree for them, also it is more fun for them to find it themselves...whether I know I could give them a lot more than I do

I did reply, but held back on being too abrupt! (was chastised a bit last week for being too direct!)

I wonder if she actually realised that when you have helped her in the past you were using your access to records for which you pay?

Genes

I was going to reply myself...I know I have helped her on FB and on here....but I do not help freeloaders

So if that is what she thinks people should do.....bye!!!

Cannot remember if it was on the Genes or Ancestry page. But one contributor commented
'why pay for subs, when you can find all you need for free online'

To say my gast was flabbered would be an understatement :-)
