Hello, Christine

I * think * if you click on search trees top left on the screen, then surname summary, that may help - I hope :)

This is in the announcements board - http://www.genesreunited.co.za/boards.page/board/announcements/thread/1267171

Under "Tools" in the left margin, bookmarks have been renamed watched threads, and "My threads" has all the threads you've ever posted on, assuming you didn't go back and delete your posts - it also says when the last post was made (by anyone) on each of those threads.

The old 3 main query boards have been combined into 3 new boards - Genealogy Chat, Find Ancestors, Find Living Rellies, and all the old posts assigned to one of those.

I don't know what happened to the old surnames board - I never used it.

Hello,
I just wondered whats happened to the old Genes Reunited,Its been some months that I have not been on here,and it looks so different.
How on earth do I click onto the page that showed others researching same names as me, and questions and answers that had been posted..the pages seem more jumbled up and not as clear...sorry its just probebly me, and my eyes....and from having sometime off here..
Regards
Christine
