Hi,

We live in Canada, but use Genes Reunited as our family history all starts from the UK.

The other site we use is GenCircles at http://www.gencircles.com/

Their smart matching is less than smart and links you up with many mismatches, eg we have a George George in our tree and this is linked to every single person with the forename George and none with the surname George!!

Hello

this site is like Rootschat but it also has a feature to input family trees and to search through other family tree entries.

This is the main site
http://www.rootsweb.com/

This is the family tree site
http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/

Hope this helps

Thats precisely why I dont use Genes Reunited. Too many mis-matches.   There is a much better site out there that does the same thing and is way better .

It takes all your family from the 1881 census and matches them with other people's ancestors from the 1881 census.

So far I havent found any cousins yet

So whats with rootschat not letting me modify my post??  I keep trying to put in the correct url to lost cousins and nothing changes.

I suggested to Lost Cousins that they put the Canadian 1881 census on their site and they assure me it is coming later this year!

Another thought occurred to me along these lines........
did you konw that if you find your ancestor on the 1901 Canadian census at Automated Genealogy you can scroll to the bottom of the page and register as a researcher of that particular person? I have done this and made contact with other researchers.....
