When you contact anyone on Genes - and that doesn't necessarily mean a relative contact, it can be someone on the boards - 'contacted' goes beside every name in their tree. Eventually, Estelle managed to get to the bottom of the problem for me - I'd contacted someone direct regarding a thread they'd posted, and 'contacted' appeared beside all 1000+ names in their tree! Hope this makes sense, and hope it helps. Mandy :)

I entered a couple of names and in the results were a lot of ticks next to people - which apparently means I'm already in contact with them - except I know I haven't contacted these people! Anyone else had anything like this? Lisa
