(1) A Photo Gallery - broken down into decades and counties, and also a section where you can post unknown subjects and ask for help;

(3) Public Trees - You should be allowed to make your tree accessable to all if you want to. Because there will be a time in the future when none of us will be able to respond to queries about our trees;

(4) Response Indication - You should be able to set a level for others to see how likely you are to respond to their email quieries, for example A - I will respond within a day B - I will respond within a week C - I will respond when I can D - I may or may not respond E - I will not respond F - I will not respond. I fear technology. I am afraid that if I reply to your email, you will find out everything about me and come round my house and murder me. My level would be "A". But I've sent plenty of emails to people I am sure are "F"s.

There are sooo many 'F's out there! Can we have a link back to tips board without having to go back to message boards and then to tips. As the service has been a bit on the slow side today, I have found it taking ages to get back. Jacky

Having the facility to include dates and places of baptism included when a tree is uploaded from a Gedcom. There wouldn't be loads of names without dates etc next to them if this was the case. Margaret

8) A Volunteers Board - Where people can add their names and what they are happy to look at for others (FOC, of course!) e.g Ancestry, 192, 1837Online, Cemeteries, Parish Records, Locations, etc. I have been so lucky and received the most wonderful help from someone in Yorkshire (I live on the South Coast) and he has found out so much information for me, without asking for anyting in return. There are also others that I swap information with on a regular basis and wouldn't be without them all (they know who they are....) Thanks again!

please can they add middle names if they apply , to your NEW NAMES list , yet again i have emailed someone in connection with a name in my tree, only to find when i check my contact box, the person has a different middle name to mine. this would save time & effort of sending the person contacted, another email saying "sorry , wrong person" elaine x

I have solved the problem with the glare of the white background, put your sunglasses on great tip, but I can't stop the flashing adverts. Sue.............

I would like to be able to delete the new names in "my names summary" once I have looked at them,although I have it on a 1 day update I still sometimes look 2 or 3 times a day and waste a lot of time looking at ones I've checked earlier!

Well I think the site is ok. It's fairy new and learning just look at the info sharing goes on. I search around other sites and it's all USA info based. What do you want for £5

Annie in Report 20 Sep 2003 07:17

Hi,Jacqueline,I don't think anyone is disputing that. I love GC! But everyone has opinions on what else they would like to be added,and unless we voice these no one will know. And contrary to a lot of other people I love the new look

PLEASE could they include a way of printing the tree and *exporting* the info onto a gedcom file as well as importing it.
