Hi Sally Mine ran out about a month ago, I can't message anyone back or view the trees except my own, I just get taken to the subscription page which is wrong. It was through GR I got my big breakthrough on my Johnstons, and because of GR I'm in touch with a wonderful couple who are first cousins once removed to my Nana. I'm sure GR would benefit more if you could stay in contact with others without paying a subscription.
