Hi all Can I add my two penneth I have contacted hot matches only to find I had previously contacted that person. They get upset because they have had previous contact. But in hot matches GR forget to show your previous contacts and only give you the tree owners first name ie Ann or George or Bill. Replying to married ladies causes confusion as well because you write to the maiden name and get a reply from the married name. It is mind boggling at times but a great site in so many other respects. I also received one today from a cousin thinking he had found someone new with lots of his relatives in their tree. I bet he is quite disappointed to find he already has access to my information. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest Keith

I got loads of Mary Jones' mine is quite clearly stated as being born Shropshire so why do they insist on giving me the ones born Wales. I wouldn't mind so much if there was only one or two but do you know how many Mary Jones' were born in Wales!!!

I changed all my unknowns to unknown surname or similar, so they dont come up in hot matches any more.

I also put an x in front of all my common names, so I could progress. This has helped as I dont get all the Halls!!

This may help you, but please dont put x's in front!

Also dont give up hope, I got a reply after 2 years last month, I wondered what they were on about!!

edit ......Just seen how old this message was I answered!!
