	Years ago, you used to be able to copy to a clipboard on the GR site, and then paste the details in your own tree - I remember doing it. There are various old threads about it - google "genesreunited clipboard". The clipboard seems to have been discontinued roughly 8 or 9 years ago Unfortunately, I think you'll just have to enter it all manually from scratch. Or ask [email protected]

	This site is merely 'ticking over' No 'new' work is being done. Anyway, taking info from someone else's tree may not be a good idea, unless you know that their info is 100% accurate and backed up by dcumentary evidence. Much better to do the research yourself and trust your own judgement.
