Got to be a hoax they would not be that foolish "would they"Ohhh just thought perhaps we are going to get 2 for the price of one FR and GC .??????????? Val

I've never heard anyone refer to it as Genes Reunited. You can't reunite genes (except perhaps by incest) but you can make a connection Please think again.

I have just checked back and the member number is standard for GC posts on this board - definitely NOT a hoax!! Maz. XX

Hasnt anyone heard of the 6th Sense with Colin Fry or Crossing Over with John Edwards??? Maybe thats where we're all going wrong !!! Please leave this as GC - after all we cannot reunite with those who have passed - and even if we do it'll be too late for our family tree!!!

The message is signed by Michelle and that is the name of the American lady who works for GC who we met at Guildford last Xmas!! That's what I meant by the message being signed correctly!! I doubt she has her own membership, so probably had to make one up to post this message. I don't think it is a hoax. GC Admin have posted on this board before. Maz. XX

Keep it as genes connected how can you renite your ancestors when they are not here anymore??????

I think I am being slow too because I don't know who member 503823? is either, does anyone? Nat

I know its not SVO. viv

Whats the saying? It it aint broke then dont fix it!!!!!!! Listen to what the membership is saying GC

Think I'm being a little slow but who is member 503823?

I think it is a hoax. I prefer GenesConnected!!!!!!! Nat

Well, the message is signed with the correct name - maybe she just makes up a dummy membership to enable her to post. To be honest, the site name doesn't matter. We will still be the same and so will the content. Grrrrrrrr is more appropriate anyway! Maz. XX

I have NEVER heard anyone call it genes reunited. I can reunite with friends but can only connect with genes. Perhaps some expert on DNA will correct me on this or explain! Pat

i think genes connected is better.even though it might not bother me for much longer as i was very unhappy to see a past thread removed about maxine carr removed.this to me is a general topic and should have not been removed!

BEING PARANOID this person joined 10/6/03 1 person in tree member no 503823 ring any memership bells with anyone

Sorry, don't like that idea, i like it as genes connected, its about connecting family history, unlike friends reunited where you are trying to find people you lost contact with.at school etc sandra at genes connected

Hmmmmm, you could be right Tammie. Since when have GC informed us that they are doing anything to the site? Jeanette

How do we know this is not another hoax? I cant see anything on Home page saying this, or am I just being paranoid?

I have never heard it called 'Genes Reunited' before and anyway, most of us refer to it as GC. There seems to be no good reason to change the name at all. Please leave it as it is.

I also have never heard anyone refer to the site as genes reunited. For what its worth, I think it's a daft name. You can reunite people, but not genes (not outside of a testtube anyway). I will still call it GC.
