Hi Helena, Thank you for your comments and information. I just checked www.rootsweb.com and there is no List or Board for "Genes Reunited." But, I've been aware of that web site for several years, and I might belong to it. I don't think I've used it, though. http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/ Most of my ancestors came from the UK in early 1600's. And, I don't research them before that. But, I have 2 sets of great-grandparents where they or their parents came to Canada, first, during 1800's. They are the ones I have the most trouble with. Researching records in the UK in late 1700's is difficult. On quick look, I'm not finding a description of that web site, or the history of it. But, I just noticed this at the bottom of the page: .. Oops, I clicked on the "US Flag" and nothing happened. I just saw a comment on-line which says that you can use that site for free, but, if you want some information from it, you need to buy "credits." That's the same for other web sites involving UK genealogy, especially for Ireland. .. One thing researchers should check often is the WorldConnect Project at the home page for www.rootsweb.com Many researchers post information there. And, there is a fairly new "search the archives" feature - where you can put in your ancestor's name and see if anyone else has mentioned your ancestor - in the archives of all of the Lists.

Betty. If your research leads you back to England, there are free resources sponsored by rootsweb....Free Reg and Free Cen and Free BMD.. They are works in progress, although Free BMD has quite good coverage now. The Genes Reunited site is not a rootsweb site. It is free to join and to upload. It is free to reply to someone who contacts you. It does cost, however, a nominal amount really, for the basic subscription. The basic subscription  allows you to be able to initiate a contact with someone else. If you are in the US, they will give you the price in $$$ as opposed to UK pounds.   I am currenty a free member. I have found living second and third cousins over there. Or, more accurately, they found me. If you are a free member, once someone else makes contact, you can re-contact them as many times as you like.   Helena   --- On Tue, 5/17/11, Ms Betty Fredericks <bbffrrpp@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Ms Betty Fredericks <bbffrrpp@yahoo.com> Subject: [NHROCKIN] New Hampshire research To: NHRockin@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, May 17, 2011, 6:05 AM Hi Helena, Thank you for your comments and information.    I just checked  www.rootsweb.com    and there is no List or Board for  "Genes Reunited."   But, I've been aware of that web site for several years, and I might belong to it.   I don't think I've used it, though. http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/ Most of my ancestors came from the UK in early 1600's.  And, I don't research them before that.   But, I have 2 sets of great-grandparents where they or their parents came to Canada, first, during 1800's.  They are the ones I have the most trouble with.   Researching records in the UK in late 1700's is difficult.
