I also mentioned the fact that the helpers were ignored and never acknowledged by GR!

Thanks too Vanessa!

Yours will go well with mine, in which I point out the complete disregard with which the site management treats the people who do the work for them on these boards ...

Completed the survey and blew the trumpet for the people in "Trying to Find" and the wonderful job they do for all and sundry. Without these people, researcher like myself would be floundering and family trees would never be completed or started for that matter.

I heard last week that GR was conducting a survey of users of GR ............... through Facebook

I emailed them to find out how non-Facebook users could also participate in the survey, and why they had not done the survey through this site.


The response from GR included the following link .....................


Please find below a link to the survey that you refer to.

http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22AXVZ2AAJ7




I filled out the survey last night, it took about 20 minutes or so, partly because the last 2 questions ask for comments and suggestions on the site and how to improve it.



Please take the time to follow the link.



I believe it is important that we the users of GR do have input into the site.
