Aha, I think the mystery is clearer, a newby !
After my gestapo style interrogation turns out hes looking for info, and got my name from the boards,no relation.
Ive sent info by email and await a thankyou, Ha ha, not holding my breath !
Now I feel like a heel for being suspicious so its the naughty step for me !!

Lindsey's funny with her tree stalker. ;)

I get them all the time too. You post some help with somebody's question, and all of a sudden (or even better, a month later) you have an "I have shared my tree" message.

My favourite was a thread in which I did a fair bit of work, and then got a PM saying "yes, we knew that, we want to know ...". (Yes, and good luck with that then, friend.) Followed by a tree-shared message. Followed, two weeks later, by a PM saying "yes, we knew that, we want to know ...". Followed by a tree-shared message.

I think two people were sharing an account but not otherwise communicating ...

All i'll say is we all had to start somewhere once and we have all needed help. So whats wrong with passing on help to others if you now know you can?

Ive got a relative who put his girlfriend and child on a boat to Oz, he jumped ship and sailed off to Us with another woman ! Its well documented, but the Ozzie side refuse to believe they are from illigitimate stock.They seem to think because their grandfather has 2 surnames he must be very posh!
So now Ive now printed out a standard reply as I'm fed up with the yeah but no but replies and the time it takes for replies from Oz.
Just as I think its sorted another one pops up.I wonder why they don't talk to each other?

If there are no matches, then how did they get in touch with you.? Have you any reason to think someone is trying to contact you that you don't want to. Usually I will happily show someone my tree, while I have noticed that some are reluctant even though there are matches. I think maybe some people are just over cautious. Sue

Lindsey, lol that sounds like my husbands Australian convict. He was sent over in the 1850s, and remarried. Ive been in touch with some of his ancestors over there but they totally deny he could have been a criminal. Even though his new wife had such an unusual name we all know it's the right people!

Lindsey you will find this happens quite often. You find some info for someone who pm's you their thanks.
Sometime later they go back through their contacts & have forgotten who you are.
