I search on GR and more often then not I get 0 results, but when I go to other sites I get loads of information! beginning to think I have wasted my money buying a years subscription. Does anyone else have this problem? |

Most people on here don't use GR for searches. Most use sites like Findmypast or Ancestry. |

Hi Kath, I'm getting more info from Findmypast, I have tried just surname and birth dates, to no avail. I have just got 5 marriages....all blank. I'm sorry I joined GR now! |

Thanks for that Sylvia, I get most my info from FMP. I am back to the 1700's now but have used freebmd early on. I certainly wont be recommending GR to anyone, I do feel cheated. |

Well said Sylvia. The members and the help they give on the community boards are the only thing that make Genes worth the admittedly small subscription - the standard membership that is!! |

No, I certainly can't fault the lovely people here and the help that is offered. I started my tree quite a few years ago, then stopped after ill health. I started again a few months back and am progressing quite well so far, but that is only because I have had to go to other sites to get a lot of the information needed. I was just curious to see if other people had the same problem. |
