General Chat

Dear All, I would like to just pass on my genuine thanks to all the contributors on all the Genes boards, and general members of Genes, and you support :-) and constructive criticisms ;-) while I was technical lead for Genes Reunited. I know it's been three years since I was pulled off Genes, and moved to the Findmypast Tree team, but I never stopped feeling part of the Genes community, and the product and community remain close to my heart. Sadly, the direction of the Findmypast group inc Genes and my own ambitions don't appear to be aligned anymore (not my choice), and so a month ago I left the company. It has been a dark year, but my passion for genealogy and supporting the genealogy community has not changed, and I hope to stay involved in some capacity elsewhere in the online genealogy area. I hope you continue to get the service you want and pay for, and will miss greatly the characters I have come to know over the 5 years I worked at Gr and Fmp. Take care all, and if you want to get in touch with me mail me at this GR account. Best regards Phil. :-) <3

Phil ...............

Thank you very much for all the help you have given to GR members of the years, and for your interest in us.

I wish you the greatest luck in your future endeavours, and hope to come across you on another site :-)

Sorry to hear you've left the company Phil - although surprised there is anyone left at all. We, the paying members, don't seem to see much evidence that anyone works at GenesReunited anymore. You have to be a Facebook member (which I'm not) to find out anything that is going on these days.

I hope you find something where your talents are appreciated and which lets you stay in the genealogy world that you so obviously enjoy.

Best of luck to you Phil in all you do....I hope the year ahead brings what you want in life and your career.

Life changes,career changes and people changes ...moving on and finding your way in life through whatever happens can only be a blessing ....

All the best

Dear Phil.

Sorry to hear you have left the company.
I wish you good luck and happiness for your future.
Take care

Good luck Phil, it was always obvious that you cared about the genealogy as much as 'the job' so thank you for all your efforts.

Hopefully we may run into you elsewhere :-)

Even though we were aware that you'd left GR, it was comforting to know that you were still there, all be it in the background. Any current and future employer will have gained a real asset; someone who is passionate in what they do. We wish you well in your future endeavours.

If you get stuck with your FH research, you know where to come :-D

Best wishes Phil.
You tried so very hard very hard for us in both jobs as you have an understanding of genealogy as well as the computer stuff.I will look forward to your next venture. We ae very grateful even if we gave you a hard time sometimes. :-D :-D

Best wishes for the future, Phil.

Please pop in here and see us sometime


:-D

Good luck and wish you all the best for the future. Thank you for all your hard work. You have been missed on here.

:-) :-) :-) :-)

All the very best, Phil. Hope to see you elsewhere.

Thanks for all you have done for us in the past and I wish you the very best in the future. :-) :-) :-) :-)

Thank you Phil - most enlightening!

Good luck for the future.

All the very best Phil, you were a breath of fresh air and things on the techie side were never the same for us after you left Genes. It always felt as if you really cared how the boards operated and how we, the paying members, enjoyed our experience on Genes; whether it be genealogical or just social.

I wish you all the best in the future, I am sure, with your skill you will go on to better and better things.

thank you for putting us in the picture, we will miss you. Good luck :-) :-)

I am sorry to hear that Phil, I really hope things turn out well for you. Thank you for all the effort that you have put into this site.

Good luck Phil
I had wondered why problems on GR
just haven't got fixed :-( :-(

good luck Phil - you will be much missed by members - and I suspect missed even more so by the company - if they cared to admit it

Good luck for the future Phil

Thank you for that information Phil. It was good to chat to you when you worked for GR - you understood where the paying customers were coming from.

Please pop on here from time to time and best wishes to you for the future.

Thank you once again for all your best wishes. I have missed being an active member of the boards, but I did dip in from time to time to see how things were going. I hope Genes does get some new life put into it. I will stay in touch, and maybe catch some of you at events. As my wife said, I can now go back to enjoying my hobby again!

Best regards
Phil
