	No I don't think the should merge, Reasons are 1) merging them would ruin FMP 2)on FMP we don't want boards where arguments kick off. 3)FMP is just all the info we need for our own look ups.

	You could have a board for Scottish ancestors if your merging with SP too. Find my Past Scottish Genes lol :) I think some of the boards could do with being merged I think there are too many duplicate boards on GR. General and chat are very similar. So are Trying to find, surname and history. So are help clinic and Records office for that matter ;)

	'Find my past genes' ? lol I think they may keep it seperate SRS, just because GR is a 'known brand' and it is linked to Friends Reunited in peoples minds. If it does merge at some point, I would think they will cut the number of boards .
