EXCLUSIVE
From today until Friday 12th December you can save 50% on 12 month Standard subscriptions to Genes Reunited when you click here and use the offer code LCDEC - bringing the price down from £20 to just £10, which is less than you'd pay for a 6 month subscription! (To secure your exclusive discount you'll need to enter the promotional code on the payment page.)

Genes Reunited needs no introduction - originally known as Genes Connected when it launched in early 2003, it was a spin-off from the well-known Friends Reunited site. There are two main ways to use Genes Reunited - you can search for specific relatives, or you can upload your tree as a Gedcom file (almost all family tree programs can export your tree in this format). Other members of the site can't see your tree unless you give them permission - similarly you can't see their trees unless they give you permission.

It's also possible to build a tree on Genes Reunited, though I generally wouldn't recommend relying on ANY online tree as your main repository of data because programs that run on your own computer are generally more powerful and flexible (Family Historian is the program I generally recommend when asked).

All Genes Reunited subscriptions now include 50 free pay-per-view credits, which would normally cost £4.95 - and not only do you get 50 credits with your initial subscription, you get another 50 each time you renew. Genes Reunited offers access to most of the British records that you'd find at findmypast, including the British Newspaper Archive.

Researching:
Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL
