	Sorry TootyFruity and Joy. I'm going to kick myself. This now looks like a duplicate thread since I changed the title of the other, and that was not my intention. Since this is shorter and I cannot merge or transfer yet, I am going to lock this to prevent two threads escalating at same time.
	Researching: I am the former lead developer for the Genes Reunited website team and the former lead developer of the Findmypast Tree team. I do not work for this company anymore. Disclaimer: The opinions expressed herein are my own personal opinions. My research areas of interest are East London, North-West Cumbria, North-East Scotland and Edinburgh.

	That is a sensible idea, and is done on other family history sites.

	Could duplicate threads be merged to prevent duplicate searches for the same information. Also if each thread has additional information,which is different to each other, merging will mean the best help can be given.
