Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 893 Send Message	Hi everyone Sorry I have been absent from my post. So pleased to see it has been getting additional attention since I've been laid up. Glad you got Brazil in the sweepstake Cathy - I think - must confess I know absolutely zilch about footie. And a contributor from Spain as well. Excellent. We must be going international on here. xxx

Member Since: June 2008 Posts: 3,659 Send Message	I thought you may like to see GR response to my post on Facebook last evening Do GR members know of the Trying to Find free look up service offered by other GR members - I have been a member for a couple of years - and only appreciated this superb add- on 3 weeks ago There is obviously a lack of knowledge regarding this as postees - ask for help and log off - not realising what is being offered... I think the reason " postees" may not stay on line is possibly not realising that there is a dedicated group of people more or less on line waiting to respond instantaneously to queries Most of us only have an experience of PM - from hot matches - and the wait for a response - hopefully at some stage in the future Since I posted my - trying to find - and reading all the different postings on all the boards - reading all the chit chat amongst the thread groups - it is obvious that there is a - more or less-a 24 hour IM service on look ups - allowing for the Australian and Canadian helpers I cannot believe with this incredible voluntary service being offered that GR does not advertise this fact There was a request recently of someone looking for a cousin who was thought to have died when his ship sank - within 59 minutes the corrected ship name was found - the crew list posted - and her cousin s job- he was a cook - was also noted -what a wonderful piece of historical information - and a piece of someones family history restored to the family memories 70 years after - and to a newer generation Come on GenesReunited - help the volunteers Response from GR Thanks for your feedback. We always appreciate comments from our members as it allows us to continuously improve and develop our website. We will endeavour to do more to create awareness around the speedy responses members receive when using the “Trying to Find” section of our site; particularly since it seems to be a very successful tool for helping those who require a bit of extra guidance to get them back on track.

Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 893 Send Message	Well done Irene. You got a positive response. That is wonderful. Must confess, however, that I will not be holding my breath until GR actually does what they say they are going to do. Sorry. I asked them if they could make one very tiny adjustment some months ago. Got an acknowledgement that someone would look at it. Result so far - not done I'm afraid. I will keep my fingers crossed though. Jeanie

Member Since: June 2008 Posts: 3,659 Send Message	Jeanie Yes it remains to be seen - I am a retired accountant and if one of my clients had a free resourse equal to the look up team - I would make sure they did everything in their power to facilitate the service and monitored the daily functioning - what other genealogical site can offer these " boards" it should stand GR apart - free researchers - even one generous man paying himself to lookup on Scottish People - irene in Spain

Member Since: June 2008 Posts: 3,659 Send Message	Julie It is on Pages - FMP has a page as well - I think I read that GR opened the page in May this year - there is a lot of chatter over the clipboard Irene

Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 893 Send Message	Think English footie fans should be pessimistic about result of their next game. Maybe, just maybe, they might get a nice surprise. Bet there are some sore heads this morning.
