There's also a drop-down menu on the contacts page which allows you to sort by forename or surname in ascending or descending order. Also you can sort by forename or surname of the relative you are researching. My biggest problem is the way that Genes uses a woman's maiden name and married name and I never know which one to look for. Margaret

Marylin Yes - you can give them star ratings! I use 5 stars for absolute rock solid useful contacts. 4 stars for fairly useful but not all that interesting contacts(Side branches). 3 stars for - I am dealing with this currently and awaiting some sort of proof. 2 stars for -absolutely the wrong person 1 star for - I have messaged this person about a potential hot match but they havent replied yet.

Hi Please could anyone tell me if there is a way to put contacts in any sort of order, I would like to put my definite connections at the top of the list and the others nearer the bottom. Dont really want to erase the ones that I dont think are connected just yet in case I find out that they are, (or in case I forget who I have contacted). If there isnt I will just have to delete the non connections and make a note somewhere else of there names. Thanks a lot for any help. Marilyn
