I do not understand if another member contacts you with a so called connection that when they share their tree they are not even on it. Even the person who they are connected with is not on there. It does not make sense. Also what is the point of hiding people that are dead, I thought it was only if you wanted someone alive to be hidden e.g. kids. I have not hidden anyone, maybe I should.

Or do you mean that they only have a few names on their tree and not much else. I;ve seen one or two like that! |

I keep everyone on my tree viewable. My living ancestors know about their presence on the tree and i don't include anybody else. |

Michael, I agree with you about hot matches. If they have more than about 3 matching names I'll look at them and sometimes they do come up with something. As for the single name matches, usually I just pick a couple at random to look at, find they don't match, and discard them along with the rest. |

Another issue about family trees and not having many names and or details are because the tree owner may not know very much about their family and are perhaps trying to find family connections when they ask another member about their tree, |

I disagree with the comments that all HotMatches are useless. In fact I find to the contrary and have made many useful connections as a result. |
