To all intents and purposes we are new here, as it's been about four years since we posted anything.

But some may remember us, if you do it'll be more "welcome back" than "welcome". New friends or old ones, equally welcome :-)

You've missed some fun & a few awfully topical threads. And, so far, I’ve only been reported once. I’m a good boy really.

New & exciting subjects always welcome for discussion & debate.

Welcome back Nicky 'n' Steve, :-D

You could always look back at old threads.....if you're bored.

Oh I've done a search of my old ones and bumped one already.

I'll dig out a few more soon, break you all back in gently.

Thanks for the welcome backs, ladies and gents :-)

well, it isn't the GR that you knew 4 years ago!!


lots of folks have left, some have died, and the Boards are not anywhere as near as active as they used to be

Even General Chat moves like treacle most days.

There's little support for GR staff



Enjoy it while it's still here!

AnnG ................


definitely a half empty day as far as GR is concerned


Just think how fast all boards used to move even as recently as 3 years ago

Look at how many people have given up and left


I'm hanging in here ............. but spend much more time on other genealogy sites, mostly the free ones that provide at least as good chat places as this one AND usually more people to help.


This site is the old comfortable shoe with friends I enjoy, but I don't think it has much time left.

It's not going to be improved, most stuff will be revolved over into fmp,.

IF we are lucky this will left as a place to build trees, and hopefully the Chat thread will remain, but I'm not really too hopeful about that!
