In case you are wondering about renewing membership, I put the following thread on the general board a while ago, and have just nudged it. 'I asked GR what access I would have to the boards if I did not renew my membership and was told that I could still reply to emails sent to me; that I could view the message boards but would only be able to post on the success and trying to find boards. I was also told that I could put a GEDCOM onto the site and could use the search facility. ... for your information, thought you might be interested ... Joy' By the way, it says somewhere on the site that your names stay on the site's database for ever. Joy |

has anyone seen how many members are registered. Noticed one member tonight whose number is over 2,500,00 . Even if only half renew thats an awful lot of subscription money going in to the site. But i still feel happy paying my renewel fee. Joan |

I don't think anybody would mind the increase if the technical problems were dealt with |

I haven't got a clue what I paid. Wether it was £5, £7 or £9.50 I can't remember. I don't think though that at 2.6pence a day that it's a very bad deal. After all, at under 80pence per month, they do provide a very nice service. I don't know what everyone else does with their internet time, but I spend £14.99 a month on mine to surf unlimited hours, looking at 'stuff', most of the time, pointless 'stuff' that you could get for free in a library! If you look hard enough, for long enough, you can find someone on this site that lives round the corner from where any one of your ancestors were. They're usually just as keen to help you as you would be them. It could cost you a lot more than £9.50 just to take a bus to wherever that records office may be and they could save you the bother. Have you checked out the prices of the subscription on other geneaology sites? This isn't that bad and i'm sure, if their 28,599,491 members started complaining, the price would soon come back down. |

I have found 2 2nd cousins through this site after 5 years researching on my own. To me £10 a year is well worth it. |
