No Joy, it is still part of the DC Thomson empire through Findmypast Limited. I don't think Findmypast or Ancestry have any baubles displayed. So maybe it's just austerity.

Austerity? How much does it cost to copy & paste baubles?
We pay to use this site. :-|

Genes Reunited is one of the UK’s largest family history websites and currently has over 13 million members worldwide.

Their Twitter heading - they have not posted since 2016

says it all really

can't be bothered set in a long time ago.

PS Just seen a Tweet from FMP wishing members a happy New Year ;-)

:-D :-D :-D@Caroline. Remember "Get it out in the open! I know I do!

Pat, GRs last post on FB was 2016! The ones in the cupboard, sorry office, are a joke - is it one person sat in their bedroom using different names to make them look like 'staff'? Bring back Estelle and Phil!

I think now it's New Year we all should send GR/GC an email to say how annoyed we are for their forgetfulness in putting the baubles up.


Happy New Year to Everyone, <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

SOME rr's DO get reinstated though, don't they?

Kense Report 2 Jan 2020 09:56

Yes I think one of Mersey's early posts was RRed for using the word "bum". It was soon reinstated.

Perhaps GR is like out here.

New Years Eve celebrated so can't work 1st

New Years Day off so family day with BBQs lots of other food and plenty of drink so can't possibly work 2nd

2nd relax, stay in and recover and prepare for the next public holidays - next week Epiphany :-S

Epiphany 6 Jan here but I understand Orthodox Eastern is a couple of days later.

Always had a party at work for Twelfth Night, Pat. Usually around the time we went back to work after our Christmas break.

Party time? :-D
