Me too. I didn't realise the site still existed until I saw this thread. :-(

same here

Found it early on

posted some messages

nada

Been a member for many many years and have never had any contacts .

So much so I had forgotten I was a member



:-(

I've never had any luck with Curious Fox.

I posted several messages in 2004, and haven't had any replies whatsoever, so today I've deleted them.
I'd forgotten all about CF until I saw this thread pushed back up to the top of the list.

Correction for the above reply...when I tried to contact the lady,I could,but she couldn't contact me directly,as she wasn't a paid-up member.I was gutted as I was on the verge of a breakthrough with this line,and I couldn't get back in contact with her!

I'm happy to say that I've had a lot of success with the Curious Fox website.I put up notices on there about the families that I wanted more information on.2 or 3 people helped me on one particular brick wall I had,they were wonderful with the amount of help that they gave me,and were not even related to me! I have had other relations contact me from other lines also.I did have one major disappointment-a lady contacted me re a line that I knew nothing about,and gave me some information,and when I tried to contact her,I couldn't,as she wasn't a paid-up member.Generally I think it's a great site,what have you got to lose? It's only about $10 or $20 for the year,and you never know who will contact you.You can leave as many messages as you like also.

Andrew - best to send him a reply by clicking on his name.
As John is a relatively new user to the boards he may not be expecting you to continue on this thread

It's better to exchange info, share trees etc off the boards.

John, its me who was, is, after him... Im a descendant too!! and yes argyllgran, it was the curious fox thing :)

PM sent to John to let him know how to return here, in case he's waiting for replies from Curious Fox.

John -

To respond directly to that message, you need to do it on the Curious Fox website.

But if you would like help with your tree, the helpers here on GenesReunited will be happy to help.
However, you'd be best to start a new thread of your own, on the "Find Ancestors" board, as MarieCeleste suggests.

There's no point in people adding information about the Brazier family to the end of this thread, which is a discussion on the efficacy or otherwise of Curious Fox.

John - not sure how your query is connected to "Curious Fox"?

Might be worth starting a new thread of your own.

I found, or he found me, my cousins long lost brother. They knew their mum had had a baby, sex unknown, before she married.

I posted about the family looking for ancestors in the area of Surrey, and he found my post on there and contacted me.

To say it was a very tearful reunion would be an understatement. This was 2 years ago!

WHO OUT THERE IS LOOKING FOR "BRAZIER" ABBERLEY c1634.

I AM A DIRECT DECENDENT-- MY NAME JOHN BRAZIER
RESPOND FOR CONTACT

I registered about a year ago and had a few replies to messages I posted. Since then, very little seems to have happened!!! It doesn't seem to have progressed very much. When I have looked back at the pages I put my messages on, nothing had been added at all. I think it was a bit of a flash in the pan and other sites (like this one) have overtaken it.

Linda, I first saw this site mentioned on a thread on here - so off I went and had a look...........registered as a non-paying member straight away. First surname search I did was on my Father's mother's maiden name - and top of the list there was a message from someone researching my Gt G'Father......... Sent an email and turns out the chap is a cousin of my Father living in Australia that he never knew about, he was born to my Dad's eldest aunt by her second marriage! So, albeit one contact, still a great success as far as we are concerned :O)

saw your message today and thought i would have a look at the site - and within an hour some kind person had located my missing relative and a load of others i didn't know existed. what a lovely lot of people you are!! thanks. shelagh

What a shame! There are so many genealogy sites out there, some useful and some not... but I had really high hopes about Curious Fox!

I have to say that I have never been contacted and when I saw this thread and revisited the site the only entries for people I was interested in, were mine! nell

I have been a non-paying member on Curious Fox for about one year and have had really good luck in being contacted about several ancestors, with wonderful results. As a non- paying guest one receives E-mail from Curious Fox with E-mail address of the person interested in your names. I have had no problems with this site and can really recommend it. Liz

I had a message from a guy whos Grandfather was my 2XGreat Uncle. I confirmed his info and offered to share certs etc but he never bothered to get back to me. It sometimes makes me wonder what people are trying to do. I have had several hits on curious fox but only one that responded and kept up contact.
