In connection with the recent GR security lapses, I removed nearly all of my online tree recently, but have a few 'joke' relatives remaining. Imagine my surprise, therefore, to receive an email announcing 'Genes New Names Alert', with not one, but 67 new matches, all on the same name: Caesar. Presumably, I'm not alone ...

Makes me think of 'I'm Spartacus. No, I'm Spartacus!' You'll need at least one in your tree to keep Caesar company, Titus ;-) Tracey

I could have quite a lot of fun with this: I might even sign up for hot matches again. Methuselah - Yes, he's one of mine, and yes, he did live 900 years etc....

Titus I think it just confirms what we all already know..... Genes claim of XXThousand ancestors available for new members to make a match is a 'little' of the the mark. I remember someone doing an exercise to work out how many people are actually 'live' members......It was a lot less than Genes claimed. Chris
