I suggest GenesReunited adds an 'added within' option to the advanced search for boards (as they have in tree searches). That would make it easier to avoid old threads.

Researching:
In and near Sheffield, Yorkshire, England: Wilde; Barringham (also in the Netherlands around 1800); Fretwell; Turver; and Turner and Scholey, in the 17th and 18th centuries. In India: Longhurst and Thomas (in Lucknow). I shall not be renewing my subscription, when it expires on 19/3/21, after decades of membership. I have not been able to upload the latest version of my family tree for some months, and several requests for help have not been responded to. In its early years, I did make contact with many previously unknown cousins through Genes Reunited - for which I will always be grateful.

It would be good if the Advance search actually worked - it doesn't and hasn't for a couple of years.

Why not add your thoughts to a thread of your own on Suggestions board......not that the Community Manager appears to have looked at it recently

To me it would make more sense if the search results appeared in date order, i.e most recent first. They just seem to come up in a jumble, so it's not surprising that people click on them and assume it's fairly current without checking the date.

Unfortunately not much on here appears to be current any more, after a few years away, I've renewed my membership, and this site is like a ghost ship. I wish I hadn't bothered, what a waste of money!
