Should GenesReunited be laid to rest? It seems so dead on these boards lately. I renew my subscription every year only because it is reasonably cheap and I like to help on the boards if I can and it passes away a bit of time each day. |

like you, I love digging around the records, but compared with a few years back, there seems little to do and so I spend most of my time - well not a lot of it - on Chat. I'd miss my friends on here if I left and as I live on my own I find it a comfort |

I agree Kath, I keep renewing for the same reasons as you, reasonably priced membership and helping others with their research. I keep looking for somewhere else where people need help. |

I agree with both of you. It used to be so busy and I could easily spend the whole day on here (and often did). All the boards moved at a very fast pace. |

GR is a family history site and not a chat board - you have faceache et al to tell the world at large what you had for breakfast, what time you "went to bobos", what your little dog is wearing today etc etc |

There are some excellent genealogy groups on Facebook for people to get help in their family history research for free. Many members have multiple subscriptions to other sites and are very willing to use them in helping others. |

Strange! I could have sworn there was a "Chat board" on GR too. |

I don't use Facebook Joeva - think too many people put far too much information on there. |

I think it is probably number 3 Graham. They are always saying they have millions of members. If they have then not many of them use the community boards. |

3 is My Heritage :-) |
