The Genealogist

The Genealogy and Family History MySpace Alternative Update!

The testing is going incredibly well and we are starting to promote the site. The testing will continue for a little while yet as we continue to get excellent feedback and ideas from our Volunteers - for which we are very grateful.

A major Press Release has been issued and over the next few weeks we will hopefully see the benefits of that.

You can read more about GenMates at GenMates Information and join the site at GenMates and it’s completely FREE to personal Members.

Genealogists Now Have Their Own MySpace Alternative

Genealogists are great networkers as the many forums that cater to them demonstrate. With the launch of GenMates they now have the opportunity to take their Genealogy and Family Research to the next Level.

With GenMates they can make new friends around the world, share their research, seek help from other Genealogists but also they can do so much more!

With the launch of GenMates they can:

•Write a Blog and publicise their Genealogy Research with their unique Blog Link;
•Create their Own Groups or Forums to bring people with common interests together. This includes being able to set up forums specifically for those researching the same names;
•Promote Events and obtain Information on Forthcoming Events
•Get Special Discounts from our Professional/Business Members
•Sell Personal Items to other users
•and much, much more……

Paul Duxbury the co-Founder of GenMates commented recently that “Some Genealogists have referred to GenMates as the Genealogy MySpace Alternative because of the fantastic range of services we provide and best of all they are all Free to Ordinary Members!”

GenMates - The Genealogy MySpace

Well after a few weeks of development and the odd late night or two GenMates went live yesterday! You can read what it is all about at GenMates Information and you can take a look at the site itself at GenMates - The Genealogy MySpace

Our volunteers heard about it last night and are already trying the site out. The site officially launches in less than two weeks time but if you want to get in before the rush and make sure you get the username you want then you can go to www.genmates.com and join up!

We have the Genealogy Magazines already asking for more information on the site!
