Just heard the news that ITV has sold Friends Reunited to the company who owns findmypast.com, so the Genes Reunited part will fit in alongside that quite well. Friends Reunited was one of the first social networking sites, but seems to have lost ground to newer sites such as Facebook and certainly got to look a bit old fashioned in my opinion.

It was a brilliant idea and I certainly used it to find my old school friends, to see what they were up to and where they had ended up. It produced a lot of memories and it was good to catch up with people who had meant so much, when we were all starting out on the road to becoming an adult. I hope it continues and, perhaps like me, it just needs a revamp!!
