I have been helping my nephew and one of my great nieces with their research into our family history. |

Not unreasonable at. As you haven't heard back from them regarding your help with the family tree it could be assumed that they had 'lost interest' ;-) |

Absolutely not. It really gets to me if I go to the bother of doing something to help anybody and they can't even have the basic manners to acknowledge what's been done. |

I agree with Liz. It is the younger generation, in the same way that many don't think it necessary to say thank you for presents and also don't think it necessary to send birthday cards etc, I usually do what Liz says and just email them to say I am worried they may not have got the email, but if they did could they let you know if they are actually interested in the family tree. |

I would say something to your brother about it's being a shame that the 2 of them seem to have lost interest in the family tree research without going into detail, and see if that gets through to them. |

Don't be surprised if they have already contacted him. |

I spoke with my 'new' relative yesterday and although he gave me a fair amount of information on his side of the family, it didn't really take me any further with mine. There were shared relatives who we both remembered, though, and it was good to chat about them |
