Genes Reunited - all resources free for 2 hours on New Years Eve

[Roger The Hat]

I've been trying for nearly half an hour, and I can't get past the log-in screen.  

Still, I haven't paid, so I haven't lost anything!

Well, I wasn't planning on renewing my subscription anyway in Feb! It's nice of them to offer something for free, but don't do it unless you can cope with the extra traffic!

So have I, maintenance work, a con would be about right
                                            Happy New year to all at ROOTCHAT

I eventually got to a listing page that bore little resemblance to my query. Place names were 'Morth Shileds' and 'Middlebough' !!

I managed to print out four records but I had already saved the search results to 'Favourites' the other day, I'm not getting anything now

I now have 2 1911 records that I was looking for but it's taken an hour

Amazing how often this happens when one of the sites offers something for free isnt it. Sites are always unavailable Makes you wonder how many people they think would try their sites out.   Not very good advrtising for them is it

I am onto my sixth 1911 census record at the moment, taken an hour, it is painfully slow, but given it is free and email was sent to all members, no wonder the servers are overloaded. Patience is paying off though, have already made some small discoveries..

Looks like the site may have gone down.  I've got the message that they're doing essential maintenance.
