Hi Lois Frankly I have never heard of it, I had a quick roam around it but find its just another site with names in It does have a lot of very annoying adverts though What is red1st supposed to mean I wonder?

Hi Nivard The annoying adverts can be stopped if you register with them. In your other message about the site being anonymous. The site states it is being run by Adrian Oates and his team of 'gifted researchers' I looked at the place names for Hull. The list was meaningless to me. Just a list of locations. But what are these for? There is no explanation. If anyone has found incorrect details of families on any list I tend to leave them as I rarely get a response. But from time to time I do post a message of correction. The only correct information is always on my tree Victor On 26/09/2012 4:27 PM, Nivard Ovington wrote: > Hi Lois > > Frankly I have never heard of it, I had a quick roam around it but find > its just another site with names in > > It does have a lot of very annoying adverts though > > What is red1st supposed to mean I wonder? > > Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > > > On 26/09/2012 15:52, Lois B. wrote: >> Will some kind soul on the appropriate side of the pond please fill >> me in regarding the above site? >> >> I came across it by accident recently while randomly googling some of >> my family names (you never know what you'll turn up!) and it's a huge >> site with a wealth of photos, history, and a large database of names >> and dates. > ..... > Ancestors in Yorkshire? http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/index.html; > www.ryedalefamilyhistory.org; www.wharfedalefhg.org.uk; > www.yorkshireparishregisters.com; www.yorkshireroots.org.uk; > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to YORKSGEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hi Victor By anonymous I meant their PR department could do with a little help methinks If I and others have never heard of it, they have not done a very good job of promoting their site have they :-) I am still wondering what red1st is supposed to mean, are they communists perhaps <g> I just googled Adrian Oates genealogy I got http://www.werelate.org/wiki/MySource:Denbk/Adrian_Oates Which seems to answer what the source is Genesreunited As to my registering to stop their infernal adverts....I don't think so!
