Got a request to view my tree this morning, from someone who's sent the same thing several times. I mailed back to say that (as I'd told her before) if she was interested in someone in my tree, to ask about that person and I'd then have a look - if it looked liket here was a link I'd happily open the tree up for her. Apparently that was rude ? It would appear that her research technique consists of PMing people at random to view their tree - she actually said 'since I can't see your tree how do I know who's in it' !!!!

She sounds lovely Paul ! lol Heather

They have found your button at the moment, Have'nt they paul!

I get them all the time. I also send a pm back saying if you could tell me what name and area you are searching i can then check my tree etc, i also get a pm back saying im rude etc, LOL. Nope the people who do this are rude, unless someone says a name and area etc and it looks like there is a connection, then im not showing anyone my tree, it wouldnt make sense at all LOL :-)

Hi Paul, I will be more wary in the future of who I give my family tree info too. I had someone ask about a name in my tree, we seemed to confirm that it was the same person, they then asked for details and info of how I got to that persons family (are you with me??), well emailed them it all.. and not even had a thank you! This person is a so called expert on this certain person yet here I was emailing them where the info was found. Not sure why I bothered really! Debs x

Do you know.... only ONE person has ever asked to view my tree... :-( I know I have (or had) the only Tzortzoglou on the site but I have plenty of commoners too! lol love becx

there are ways to ask to look at some ones tree and that wasnt one of them how rude i have very nice people contact me with very nice requests and im very happy for them to look at my tree,but if some one sent me that request i would just ignore them angie x

You will probably find out you are related to her now Paul! ;)

No Paul, it's not just you. One person has pmd me twice asking to see my tree & just ignored me when I ask why. Another asked if I had a certain person in my tree & I said no sorry, then when I found, after some time, a possible link he has just ignored me. As they say where the ancestor in question is from, nowt so queer as folk. Vivienne

Paul - My dad will be so chuffed, he loves LOTR CB - We could be related!!!! Then you'd have no choice but to keep in contact with me :-) xxx

I have a copper too - found my grandfathers 'long lost' brother as a Constable in the Met in 1901. Who knows what happened to him afterwards though. My gradfather would never talk about him, so my dad thought something had happened, suicide etc, but now it appears to have been jealousy - they both went to London to try to join the Met, my grandfather failed because he was too short (half an inch !!) and got a job on the railyway instead, wheeras his brother was successful.

Paul could he not have got a set of shoe lifts out of the innovations catalogue? Z

in 1900 ? lol
