Found some reviews on GR on another site and found their comments interesting. What would you say if you had to write a review?

I would say that if you want to meet new people and find out EVERYTHING about them in a short a time scale as possible then this is the place for you! It is also good for tracking down living relatives and name collectors with your dead relatives in their trees! It is also very pricey! But the service it provides is speedy and fair!

no other site comes close to the weekend entertainments
and if you get bored with that
you could even do some of your family tree

a good light hearted first dip into the oceon of genealogy.
On the whole the site is fantastic for help and many will rescue a floundering person. The lifebouys though are in some areas very short supply, so make sure you can swim if you venture in too deep.

For a blue chip company a shambles at times,one party dont know what the other is doing and lack cooperation between paying customers leave lots to be desired,,,,

Its paying members make GR as they have lttle interaction with the site apart from running the servers,and selling the ads that appear round the screen..

I didn't recognise any of the reviews I was looking at yesterday. Just had a regoogle to see what you were talking about.

I would include in my review that I learn something new everyday.
