After a full day's work tracing clients' family trees, I was interviewed by Selina MacKenzie on Talk Radio Europe, a station that actually covers the English speaking ex-pat community in Spain and Gibraltar. I was amused that one of the many adverts on the station was about combatting alcoholism. I enthusiastically steered listeners towards Genes Reunited, both to make contact with possible relatives and also to use the many different records now available on the site. Selina commented that she wished she had asked her grandmother more questions while she was alive. I pointed out that although she did not ask questions, some other relatives out there may have done: when I was a teenager, I interviewed all sorts of elderly cousins and wrote down memories that their own children or grandchildren may not have heard. By networking with people across the world via Genes Reunited, Selina may find the equivalent of me in her family.</p> </div> <div class="footer"> <div> <a class="smalltext" href="/blog/guest-blog/archive/2011/8/24/interviewed-by-selina-mackenzie-on-talk-radio-europe">Read full article</a> </div> </div> <br /> </div> <div class="panel ancillary tabular"> <div class="header"> <h2> <a href="/blog/guest-blog/archive/2011/7/20/new-guest-blog-from-anthony-adolph">New Guest Blog from Anthony Adolph</a> </h2> <br /> <div> Published in <a href="/blog/guest-blog">Guest Blog</a> on 20 Jul 2011 16:17  :  <a href="/blog/tags/anthony-adolph">anthony adolph</a>    :  0 comments  :  11848 views </div> </div> <div class="body alt blogpost"> <p>It is 19 July 2010, and I am using a short lull in my live webcast to start writing my first entry for the Genes Reunited blog. I have been Genes Reunited's 'resident genealogist' since six months after its start, and each month since summer 2003, I have spent an hour a month with these live sessions - getting on for one hundred of them - receiving questions from members all over the world, and doing my best to answer them. Most of the feedback I get from this is positive: just now (I'm checking back to the page every few minutes) someone's written 'I knew you would come up with another angle that I hadn't thought of. Its much appreciated'. I do remember once someone criticised me for being sarcastic. I looked back at the session he was referring to, and saw it had been a very busy night, with masses of questions, so I'd had to type very short answers: they were certainly not intended to sound sarcastic but in hindsight I could see that their very brevity could be misinterpreted that way! Luckily, recent sessions have seen a steady flow of questions, rather than an overwhelming flood, so I have been able to take a bit more time and try to provide a little bit more depth. Trouble is, if I only have one question to answer, I might decide to take five minutes answering it, but it's only when I send it off that I can find out if I have no, one, two or two dozen new questions waiting for me! But that's life.</p> </div> <div class="footer"> <div> <a class="smalltext" href="/blog/guest-blog/archive/2011/7/20/new-guest-blog-from-anthony-adolph">Read full article</a> </div> </div> <br /> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <div class="container_12"> <div class="grid_3"> <ul> <li><strong>Site links</strong></li> <li><a href="/messages/friend">Tell a Friend</a></li> <li><a href="/sitemap">Sitemap</a></li> <li><a href="/contents/presshome">Press</a></li> <li><a href="/contents/legaltermsandconditions">Terms & Conditions</a></li> <li><a href="/contents/legalprivacypolicy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="/contents/legalcookiepolicy">Cookie Policy</a></li> <li><a href="/static/companyinformation">Company Information</a></li> <li><a href="/static/affiliates">Affiliates</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mxguarddog.com/">Phishing Filter</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="grid_3"> <ul> <li><strong>Genes Reunited International</strong></li> <li><a href="https://www.genesreunited.com.au/">Genes Reunited Australia</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.genesreunited.co.nz/">Genes Reunited New Zealand</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.genesreunited.co.za/">Genes Reunited South Africa</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="grid_3"> <ul> <li><strong>Our sister sites</strong></li> <li><a href="https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/">The British Newspaper Archive</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.findmypast.co.uk/">Findmypast</a></li> <li><a href="https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-records/1911-census-for-england-and-wales">1911 Census</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="grid_3 bdr-left"> <p>All site material is owned by Findmypast Limited and should not be used without prior permission.</p> <p>Any views expressed in message boards and members notes represent the opinions of the author and do not represent the opinions of Findmypast Limited.</p> <p>© Copyright 2025 Findmypast Limited.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container_12"> </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="/_resources/scripts/general/boards.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { $(".add-emoticons").addEmoticons(); $("#CommentBody").addEmoticonSelector(); }); </script> </body> </html>
