Not something, which I miss.
I never had any good matches.

In fact, there were times when I could see absolutely no link between the names being sent as a match, to anyone at all on my tree.
........... Wrong name, wrong birth year, sometimes by at least decades.

"My updates" on the Home page may tell you when the Hot Match search was last run on your tree. In my case it was June 2016.

I used to find the hot matches quite reasonable when they arrived, but subsequent editing of my tree could inadvertently change the names in the match list. Edit: Also happened if the other person changed their tree.

I thank you all for updating me. I must have "been asleep on the job".

Thanks for your input. Take care everyone. Nala.

"Search member trees" still works fine and is far more accurate then Hot Matches ever were.

If you have a tree on here then keeping an eye on the surname summary ( under relatives drop down) is very useful.
