Good to see so many familiar names on here.

i joined almost 5 years ago so i expect i am on oldie on both counts...lol

I joined back in June 2003 and it feels like much longer than that.

In those days (the OLD days) it was Genes Connected and when I eventually found the boards they were quite different from these ones. You had to make a note of the number that shows in that white bar at the top of your screen and then type the number into the end of whatever thread you were in to go back to the one you wanted. Confused? Yes, I was too for a while!

Have just checked and I joined in 2003, but didn't post till 2007.

I don't think I even looked at the boards until then, and the first one I followed was when a lot of members got involved in looking for details of a child after a member found a grave (think I remember the details correctly).
I was going to change Lyndi to my real name Lynda - but there are a few others on the boards so will stay as i am.
I finished work a few weeks ago so now have more time to follow the board--------- and do my tree!!.

gosh - I too had to look it up - I've been here since May 2003.
Have always been maggie winchester (it had a gap before gaps were banned!)
Strangely my name is maggie - and I live in Winchester - so anyone coming down this way.........................




there are some good pubs!!!!

...and interesting guttering

Cruised from the first day it started and joined Feb. 9 2003...and you are only as old as you feel!

I've been a 'free' member since 2002, then when I became a financial member in 2004, took a new name and was given a new number. Only started using Community boards in December 2008 and only ever known on here as Berona. Do I qualify?

My brother alerted me to the site when family names started to be listed on Genes Connected, and became a paid member on 14 feb 2003.

joined in my REAL full name at first but modified that to just Bob-- something or other,
Bob in Bretton
Bob Camera dodger
and have been Bob ( with GPS address for some years now......)
Always with my member number showing.

I have been on Gr since March 2005.Never changed my name!!
