	My thanks to those who have answered my enquiries about connections to their families, much help has been offered. But PLEASE do respond even if a negative as that knowledge is just as usefull. Not knowing if those who seem to have matches with your family are ignoring you or really not the same family is very unsatisfactory. For the sake of a few mouse clicks it is rude too. My thanks to the helpful and polite members. Tina

	Have you considered that those who don't reply are not necessarily being rude, they may not use the site any more? Sam x

	Many of the people whose trees are on here are no longer members.........the wretched 'hot matches' system doesn't cope with that..............
