Not seen the magazine but GR does not help members it is actually the members themselves that do the work.

Unfortunately a lot of members do not realise that it is the members that make this site what it is.

Good luck to Ann for getting a letter printed.

Does anyone know Ann Miller of Preston.
Ann responded to a question in "Your Family Tree" magazine about what the readers thought of GR,
In the July issue Ann tells she has been a member for a few years and uses the community boards.She tells of the way she didn't at first like the "new look". (None of us did,did we?)But now can't remember what the old one looked like.LOL
She goes on to say some new users don't give time to wait for an answer to their questions and requests.
An old problem/challenge... I was guilty myself years ago when I first started....I thought we posted then went back later to see if anyone answered.
Reminding us of how we sometimes spend hours of our time.How we all do it just for fun and because we like to help others.
Well why not, most of us are on other sites anyway and lots have bought Cd's with info.so why not do a look-up for others.We are addicted after all!
I thought it was lovely of Ann to mention these things and to thank everyone for the help given quite willingly.
I would like to thank Ann for giving GR members a good write up. lol
