OK .....

so ITV bought FR and GR in 2007, and then sold GR to BrightSolid in 2010 .....


did the sale start in 2009 and be completed in 2010, or start in 2010 and be completed in 2011??


I know it did take 12 months to wend its way through the Competitions Bureau to prove that there would be no adverse effect on the users by combining3 of the 4 major genealogy sites under one "roof".

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.
