Sirs, I have just renewed my membership for Genes Reunited, mainly so that I could access my tree . I have since seen that this company is either closing or has closed. Can you please tell me what is happening, and will my details be safe if it does close, and would it be possible in that case to transfer this data, as there is quite a lot of it, elsewhere.(Say, by Gedcom) I have been a member for many years but let it lapse previously due to the fact I am a senior citizen and felt, at the time I couldn't afford the membership fees.

Tina, this thread is four years old.
Also GR does not check the boards. You need to email them if you are concerned that they are closing imminently.

4 years......a very slow departure....

:-S :-S :-S :-S

Tina, I think you have just spooked a lot of us.

It is probably a good idea anyway to copy your tree so that you have a spare version in case anything goes wrong.

If you 'export a gedcom' particularly if you have made a number of additions, it can always be 'imported' onto another site. It is exported into an email to you in an unreadable state, ready to import. You may lose some attachments, but the tree will remain safely.
