Member Since: November 2008 Posts: 34 Send Message	1st Thank you all for your help! We don't seem to be doing very well with our new attempts using GenesReunited do we! My wife and I have been doing ancestry for a long time now and have most of the answers. We use Ancestry.co/LDS/thegenealogist and all BMD's and parish records, and we used Genes reunited some considerable time ago! But now methods seem to have changed somewhat. However I think I now have the gist of it. So! thank you all for your replies. Lambert
