i just wana say to all the genes reunited staff that come on here and do look ups for free and are here most hours helping ppl search for lost relatives and links with family, that they are great they dont get paid for it they do it to help the likes of me and others and i just wnat them to know they are apprecited so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and am greatful for the help iv had so far

Staff?

Hi Louise, all credit to those who use their valuable time to help others on here

Mind you, youll find its the ordinary members not the staff who do the look ups(they also may help I dont know) :o)))

Louise,hello

GR staff unmistakenly are not the ones who do the look-ups for other members it member themselves who devote time and effort to help others,,,,perhaps those on Record .Tips.trying to Find will be thankful for your kind comments,,,,,,

i call them staff because thats what they act like and dont get paid for it : )

Heh, if only we were GR staff. Then this place would be set up in a way that makes sense and doesn't cause the confusion and problems it causes now!

We're all just paying members, and we help because we like helping, and we're obsessive-compulsive. ;)

See a puzzle, solve it or die trying, that's my motto.

well ur all very kind tho to do it x coz u dont have to but u do

Very nice of you to express your thanks.

It's a pleasure to try to find people in census etc, even though most times others are quicker than me .... :-)

Please could you do me one favour? Could you change the word staff to members? Many thanks.

And you're kind to say so, Louise.

Doing stuff for people is its own reward, but getting thanked is a welcome bonus!

No louise,,you are correct they dont have to do it,,but they enjoy helping,,,

You know what Louise? you are like a breathe of fresh air on this board. Good on yer girl!

ok members lol are very great members x

What a great thread, Louise. Very worthwhile, and something that goes unsaid some of the time.

The members on GR have been so helpful, it restores your faith in human nature sometimes. :-))

Louise, it is not staff that do the lookups, it is ordinary members like you and me...They give up their time for free to help others. GR staff have nothign whatsoever to do with it.

That's right it's other members who do all the helping.

I once wrote to GR & suggested that someone who had done a load of work for others be granted free membership for a year or preferably for life..............it didn't work.

Louise, it is so nice to see you thanking people for helping others, so many people take it for granted. so, thank you for being so thoughtful

Thats got me thinking !!!!! If I had a penny for every look up !!.................. I could afford 2 loaves of bread LOL

i just felt i had to say coz its great work

Louise, I agree. Some of the members on Tips and Records gave me the knowledge to do my own research but also helped me find a few ancestors who were hiding. I wouldn't have got as far as I have if it wasn't for them.
