Genealogy Chat

then what about the initials you used at the end of your OP on the other thread, RS ................ identical to the "signature" used by Ribbonscream,

and the fact that same OP asked the very same identical questions to the ones asked by Ribbonscream aka Divergent on two other forums?

Ribbonscream and Divergent are the same person, and eventually admitted under both names that he had been asked by his work to find out feelings re all the different genealogy sites, both world-wide and local with the aim of developing their own.

I am asking for the reason I am trying to do an assignment. I am a distance learner with Aber University.

I do not know who Divergent or Ribbonscream are so was not aware that something had been posted similar to this elsewhere.

NO!

Unless there are two people asking identical questions at the same time!!

Genealogy Sites versus Archives

I am interested to know what peoples thoughts and opinions are on the below.

What do sites like this and Ancestry, FMP etc. versus Hull History Centre online and others have in common?

What are there differences?

What are there shortcomings?

What can't they find out that you would like to?

What are there shortcomings of Parish Records?

How could such issues be resolved?

What is your need in using such a site or archive?

Many thanks

RS

and later replies ............

I have been asked by work to do a survey, and evaluate the outcomings of the things that have been asked.


Trying to write a detailed account of the differences between the on-line genealogy and the traditional way for a work survery. I have been asked to get feedback and thoughts on what I posted earlier


The company is looking at venturing into genealogy. I was asked to ask on various genealogy forums what the opinions, thoughts and feelings of the public ie you on the questions that have been asked hence the reason it is posted on other forums to do with genealogy. Hull History Centre was the only one mentioned as a colleague has some experience of using this.

and note that Candi signed RS at the end of the first post on the other thread linke by DET

hang on Sylvia, is that the case?

indicates that it is for an academic assignment

I don't actually think using a company's resources - this website - to do research for the purpose of starting a competing business is quite, you know, kosher, Candis.

In fact, you might find the company whose website you are using would take quite a dim view of it. Although I'm thinking it doesn't have much to worry about.

I have replied on your earlier thread ................

errrrrrrrrrrrr ...........


you asked these questions on both FTF and Rootschat, and finally admitted after much questioning that your "company" has asked you to do a survey to find out about the feasibility of starting a genealogy company


You received many replies on those other sites, and I think were told that they would have to find a niche that would be profitable for them

I presume that this is why you are now asking about Genuki

Is your company thinking of taking over Genuki?

It after all relies on VOLUNTEERS, according to their web page .............

"GENUKI provides a virtual reference library of genealogical information of particular relevance to the UK and Ireland. It is a non-commercial service, maintained by a charitable trust and a group of volunteers.

All material on this site is © GENUKI and individual contributors. For permission to re-use material please contact the GENUKI trustees."

It sometimes comes up in an internet result, but its not on a tagged list.

You asked about Hull History Centre a while ago - any comments on the responses?

Any particular reason why you are asking for opinions?

Never used it

HI

What do people like about Genuki?

What do you dislike about Genuki?

Thanks
