I would think that it would need some of your relations to have installed a tree.....featuring your family.....are there any trees with your relations on here?

Is she still alive?

If so, that is perhaps the reason why.

Both my parents are on a tree here - with not a single name to connect them to madam who did that!. Neither of their parents, grandparents, siblings..... no one else added. Obviously I messaged her, message unopened and I think she may have removed them and herself.

So Claire, be grateful that at least your mother hasn't been added by some stranger who was just playing.
It could be that no-one has your mum on their tree - more often than not, no one has added most of the names I look for.

TBH I'd be wary of any name added to trees on here, I only use this site for clues not solid evidence.

edit My parents still on here. Another pm sent. Gives me the creeps.

Well she wouid only be on genes if someone has done a tree on here

Genes isn’t like ancestry or find my past. ,it needs a family member to build their tree on here
