Hi All I have just had 2 pages of Hot matches - with excitment I sat down to explore!!!! 95% of them are for Peter Wood (My Hubby, who was born in Essex) but ever single one of these Peter Wood's were born every where else in the world. Am I missing something here? Maybe he needs to change his name LOL Any thoughts! Janey |

i get hot matches sent all the time, i'm a bit puzzled as to how they can think the match is mine sometimes. I have alot of Brown's in my family so you can imagine the ones I get. What gets me though if I have a mary brown in my tree from scotland why do they send me matches of the same name but in london? It's obvious it's not a match.Just common with the name. I get so many I just can;t be botheres to look at them now. |

LOL Webster. Personally I dont even bother with Hot Matches, tried exploring them a few times and found them a waste of time. Suzanne |

They only match the name and year of birth....nothing else...... I have had pages and pages of them that I have looked at since they introduced it. I have never had a match :o(( Merry |

Jane Sadly most hot matches aren't even tepid. I have found a connection once or twice, but I have lots of 'matches' because I have a William Gray and a John Matthews in my tree and there are tons of people with those names. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a facility to match the area, so I get lots of people who were born and died in Australia, nothing to do with me. :-( nell |

is it true that adding extra letters to a common name will stop them coming up in hot matches? I'm dreading the Smiths, but don't want to delete them (can't actually, since I've got twigs off them) |

I've got 11 pages of them now and I've given up too. What if you are a year out on a 'real' match, I guess Hot Matches will not show it? |
