If you don't renew membership, do you still receive messages sent from members? I have sent 2 messages to a person who has the same ancestors as me, hoping to share information, but they have not replied, so do you think they haven't renewed or just don't want contact.. June

I don't think you can send or reply to messages if you have not renewed membership. Why don't you try sending them another message and include your email address? I have a couple of people that have not replied even though I am certain they are fairly close relations, some people just don't bother checking their messages that often or maybe don't get email notification. dizzy

Thanks for replying dizzy, i'll send an email as you suggest. I wouldn't bother again, but the surname is Smith, so she could hopefully cut down on my research.

I think some people treat this hobby a lot more casually than others - they may not check their messages for months at a time.
