Question

Which is the best genes reunited or ancestry co uk?

Answer 1

I use ancestry.co.uk /.com I have the world deluxe membership and I wouldn't go back to genesreunited EVER, in my opinion it's rubbish, but that is only down to my experience of using  genesreunited  a couple of years ago.

It think that the BMD on ancestry.co.uk is the best on the Internet, they are up to  31st December 2005 now, it really is amazing.

Answer 2

I am a member of both

Neither is really better than the other as each offers different things.

By using both they compliment each other

Answer 3

I would say Ancestry is the better site, but the trick is to use several sites so that the information can be double checked.

Answer 4

Ancestry.co.uk, Genesreunited is only info posted by members and is only their interest. Ancestry is a true record of government data, but it costs a small sum of money. I use it.

Answer 5

Lol. I just checked out that genesreunited site and got a bit excited when I found some people who's ancestors exactly match mine. But of closer inspection I think they match because they have copied the public tree I have put on Ancestry.

I have entered my grandfather on Ancestry but none of his 10 siblings and theirs in exactly the same.

Lucky for them my tree is pretty accurate  :-)

Guess they must be related in some way to go to all that trouble entering the information.

Answer 6

Maybe it depends on what you are looking for.

But if you want to research your ancestors, Ancestry has a lot of info, and more added all the time.

Answer 7

I personally find GR easier to navigate around, but it's all down to personal taste, and what website layouts work for you. I tried Ancestry, but I never got the hang of it. For those who are saying Ancestry has more to offer, GR offers the same things. I should know; I use it.

And the comment about GR only having personal accounts from other members is complete c**p. They have all the census records, all BMD records and military records, amongst many more.

Answer 8

Ancestry.com as they have a larger collection but genes reunited is good for contacting other researchers who are researching your tree so my advice is join both
