Sorry Joy - I meant that jokingly! - at the time a lot of people who were against the name change said they didn't like change anyway and I was referring to that - if it offends I'll delete it:) David

As this site is for tracing ancestors and for meeting with others doing the same, many people, myself included, felt that Genes Reunited was not an apt name as to be reunited was not an option, whereas Genes connected was more appropriate. It never was a case of not liking change but disagreeing with that particular change. Jacky

Jackie, I am member since Genes started and agree with 'the original' was the best. So BIG up all those who agree with G.C. whether they intend it to mean Genes Connected or Gone Crazy (dont we all at sometime). Pat x
