Last February I responded to one of the Hot Matches GR sent to me. I kept it light and polite and asked for any further info. that could be supplied in order to confrm whether or not this person was my rellie and signed off with my name.

Today I got a very rude email, asking just who I thought I was asking for the information and what business it was of mine.

I haven't bothered to respond for fear it might be a rellie of mine that I don't want but why do people join GR with that sort of attitude.

Some folk are to say the least peculiar.Someone on here & I share 3 X G Grandparents. I offered copy certs to prove the connection & in response she deleted her tree. Goodness knows why, I already had her family input & never include living people.

Oh Linda how rude. I have been so lucky I haven't met a rude one yet!!.
Looking at how some people have I am glad but at least I am now prepared for it.
why put a tree on GR if you don't want to contact any family beggars belief.
