OH's lot originated in Scotland....haven't looked at them for ages - will do so now.


Stop that caterwauling for heaven's sake. You'll wake the dogs. Here........blow your nose.....~~~~

None of my lot ever moved any further north than Cambridgeshire.

I did visit Edinborough last year for a couple of days does that count?

ja...x

Cambridge isn't North ja...x! My brother in law lives near Cambridge and my niece is in Stevenage.


How far back does SP go? I have got back as far as a John Taylor born c1775 probably in Dysart. He married a Janet Smith.

When you come from London or Essex...Cambridge is North

just sent another email to the powers that be:-


after a weekend of utter turmoil on the site, .............. where people cannot move from thread to thread, ........... cannot move easily from board to board, .............. cannot move easily from page to page within a thread, ............ cannot understand exactly when a posting was made ("today" meaning any time from 12:01 am to 6 hours ago), ................ where people have lost names or been assigned strange board names, ....................... and the horror of the Help Clinic ............. I think it is time that you guys got your acts together, and made changes that actually work! ............ Those poor people who volunteered to help on the Help Clinic have largely found themselves in untenable positions .............. often unable to help answer requests posed for them because of the limitation on which sites can be used, ...... responding very inappropriately to a request for help because said request had been made earlier on a board with no success in breaking down the brick wall, thus obviously suitable for posting on a board which says "break down your brick wall" ............... and unable to have the TEAMWORK that was the basis for the magnificent work done previously. ........... I have a suggestion for you:-------- Help Clinic, when you think about it, is in fact excess to needs! .............. Other boards do the job better, have done so for many years, and in more timely fashion ........ There was no-one working on the Help Board from about 9 pm last night to 7am this morning UK time. Which means that none of your overseas members could get help. There has been no-one apparently working on that board most of this afternoon and early evening. The other Boards are doing fine! ......................... As an answer to the problem that volunteers felt unacknowledged, as shown on the market survey done in the spring, literally ALL that needed to be done was ............1) a statement in a very obvious place that all research was done by volunteers "and we thank them all"; ........ 2) inclusion of the fact that member to member help was available on the site in advertising; and ............. 3) for you to refrain from inferring in advertising that the help available on the site was by GR itself. ............... I think that would have done the job magnificently, and been approved by us all! ......... Instead of which, there are many members very upset; members seriously considering leaving GR because of the difficulties in using the site; the disparity you have caused by having Starred Official Helpers and the rest of us unstarred, and presumably to be considered less than worthy. ................. The feeling of being unacknowledged and not valued for the help provided is WORSE now than it was before.. ........ We all heard about the sale to brightsolid with hope in our hearts that the site would be improved. What a terrible job you have done.



do you think I will get that 20% off ........... an offer which I ahve not yet seen, anyway!!

Your discount is showing in my accounts under subscriptions

It will be interesting to see their response.

does that mean I have to have continuous membership to get the discount, or is it also applied to single membership, which is what I have, 'cos I wanted control

One can have too much of a good thing. Night all......:))

Sylvia

No you can still have single membership but if it lapses you have to rejoin within 4 weeks

TF

I meant, do I still get the 20% discount?


I've tried to stick with single membership, because of a member years ago having money taken from her cc without GR notifying her first (as they say they will do)

and because I don't always use the same cc (for various reasons, including cc's being stolen)

and I've always rejoined before the time is up

Yes you still get the subscription as long as it does not lapse for more than 4 weeks

Oh dear looks like someone did'nt like me mentioning she already had a thread on this family.

Clinic are welcome to it ....it was bad enough trying to find some aunt who was not there to be found

ja...x

goodoh!



mind you, the caveat might be

....... that GR cleans up the mess of the past few days!
