Genes Reunited Blogs

What are the Genes blogs all about?

Welcome to the new Genes Reunited blog!

We will be adding blogs covering a variety of topics. The functionality is not quite finished yet so unfortunately you cannot add comments but we are working on this.
The Genes Reunited Team will be writing blogs and keeping you up to date with changes happening on the site, but we will also be asking you to write blogs about topics that interest you.
We will also have guest bloggers that will be able to give you tips and advice as to how to trace your family history.
The blogs will have various privacy settings, so that you can choose who you share your blog with.

I am Estelle, the Genes product assistant, and I'm here to tell you about the new records we have just added to the site. We now have 35 million Parish Records which mean you can search baptisms, marriages and burials as far back as 1538. Until now our earliest UK records were the birth, marriage and death indexes that began in 1837.

I am Estelle and I have been working for Genes Reunited since 2004. I am also a keen genealogist and have been tracing my own family history since 1995. Needless to say this job is like a dream come true working for a family history website!
