Genes Reunited - all resources free for 2 hours on New Years Eve
« on: Thursday 23 December 10 12:45 GMT (UK) »
Just had an email from Genes Reunited - all their resources are free to view from 6PM - 8PM on New Years Eve. Not sure who is eligible, I have a basic paid membership only.

I hope they manage to cope with the rush!

This would probably be just for paid members, I didn't bother to renew my subscription, so am now a free member only and didn't get the e-mail you had.

on December 31st between 6pm -9pm.  or has someone already posted this?
 Good hunting & Happy New Year!

Does anyone know does this mean you would be able to contact members during these 2 hours who share your ancestors?

Love the way they offer it as a " New Year's Eve party" - see you all there!

(As long as it's not so busy the site crashes or something  ;D)

Will be busy in the days ahead making a priority list of 1911 census checks; which will keep me going until Ancestry start offering it "sometime in the New Year". Am hanging on by my fingernails...

Well, I'm having no luck so far! I have pretty fast broadband but still can't open the image!
