As to why there is abit of controversy on the GR FB page as GR has put up a thread asking for surnames being researched to be post I'm confused :-S

Not from me no..

Loads spitting their dummies out of the pram about it...but folk that are doing it are happy to do so.....

If they want help they'll join and pay the subs.

Can't see what on gods earth it has to do with anyone else...it's GR's FB page..they're free to do what they will on it imho x

Ok its the spitting the dummy out of their prams I dont understand WHY?

I really don't know !!!! How on earth is it hurting anyone?

What really riles me is the condescending way some of the folk who have joined in are being treated.

If I was new and I had added to the wrong thread by accident and got spoken to like that I'd run off and never return to GR.

And before anyone says..no i don't do look ups...but it doesn't stop me from feeling right sorry for the poor woman who was being spoken down to .x

I used to really enjoy it on the GR FB page it used to be quiet a good read I used it alot when I was banned from posting on here but its just turned in to a compliant platform, for months people posted the same post about the union jack, or moan after moan I still look in to read the stuff GR post as it can be really interesting.

Hayley -- a response was given to you
and I quote

"Because Hayley, it is implying that there is some likelyhood of someone spotting the name and making a connection, which is just as likely as sticking a pin in the phonebook I think, especially as by tomorrow the thread will be off the page. Unless the name is particularly unusual there's a cat in hells chance, and if it IS unusual one would be better just putting it in FB search above. It is a shame for those who are adding seeking help (rather than just listing a name) which could be given, because their pleas are being lost in a list of names. It's also very bad business sense as GR haven't even mentioned the search trees facility etc which could help some of the posters."

I looked, I read half a dozen, got bored and exited.

Like I'd put my names on FB *snort* I don't even put them on here unless I am desperate - there are some strange people on GR :-(
