I wonder what thoughts people have about the purchase of the '1901 Census venture' by GenesReunited? http://www.qinetiq[.]com/home/newsroom/news_releases_homepage/2005/3rd_quarter/friends_reunited_buys.html or http://tinyurl[.]com/9v3dz MB |

I would have hoped they would get this site working up to standard before venturing into other ones. Just read the article and definately think part of that £3m plus should have been spent on updating this site and adding better features. After all we are paying for it. |

They have just taken over the management of the site, previously run by Qinetiq. nell |

Glad I'm an Ancestry subscriber. I have little faith in GR if their own site is anything to go by. |

It's not the Ancestry one, it's the National Archives one. I can't see the point really. Concentrate on getting this site sorted. |

I think the comments fit with my thoughts. I would prefer GenesReunited concentrate on improving this site first and perhaps listen to what the users want. I find GR useful as it attracts a lot of people new to family history so keep hoping to get a message with some crucial bit of information! Unfortunately a lot of the contacts tend to stop for no real reason and this can be difficult if you have not managed to get a real EMail address to contact them direct. I subscribe to Ancestry so I don't often look at the PRO 1901 census pages. MB |
