Yes, he's in my contacts list but has not long arrived as he certainly wasn't there a few days ago.

I've got him too. Gets around doesn,t he?

Sally, Guess we just have to sit and wait for Genes to sort him!!!!!!!!!

Maggie, I have just looked and have him 139 times this must be a record, but, what do we do now????????????

I put my hands up, he's in my contacts also. As a new comer, what happens next? I have also been sending messages to myself but i don't know how. susan in Biddaddaba

hello all I to have this john henry thornthwaite 3 times on my contact list,i know that they were not there yesterday. what is going on ? weird or what concered cathy

Same here! Does it do any harm to our trees and how the heck does he get on there?!! GRRRRRR!!!!!

Can't believe this - just cruising this board - checked my contacts and he appears 18 times. Wasn't there a couple of days ago. What on earth is going on??? Tricia

Yep, he's there in mine too, in contacts going back to last year. Maggy

Apparently i have contacted 3 people to do with john henry??????????

I've got him twice too, he wasn't there but is now!!!!!!!!

I did'nt get Jamar but i've got John Henry ! Have e.mailed GC will wait for the standard reply! Am leaving him where he is for now as he's on most of the contacts that I don't want to delete - bah humbug! Sue.

I have him mentioned as a link on 38 of my contacts. This wasn't there yesterday. It has just appeared today.

Gosh, apparently John Henry Thornthwaite exists in 7 branches of my tree. Must have been very incestuous! Angela

My guess is this is just a glich like last time. I have looked in my name summary and he is not in there, so why don't we all wait for GR to correct problem. Don't mean to offend, but so many people have got up in arms about it, but does it really matter, it is not effecting our trees, GR will sort it like last time, surely people can't expect this site to run 100% 24/7, I know my internet providier doesn't! but I tolerate it going gobble de guke sometimes. Lets all be patient now as I think there a now too many threads on this one. Sorry Kim

I've just signed in tonight, havent been on since about 06:30 - I have 12 contacts - - And i would like to say hello to all my nes found cousins. ;-) Liz

Hi Its me again Have just looked at my contacts and this name is appearing on 6 contacts dating back to April now i know that that name was not there before this weekend ,i think i will delete all my contacts to be safe . Val

I wanted to try to merge my message with the other one, but it didn't work, so I've copied the content of mine, with the replies, and shall delete the original, if you see what I mean, to make one less 'thread' about you know who. I have asked GR to delete "John Henry Thornthwaite" I have sent a message in feedback about this 'unwanted' name, and asked for it to be deleted. Joy Added By Joy Kentish Maid GC on 20/07/2004 18:52:09 | Update Message | Delete Message I have just looked again at my contacts. It is really silly, saying that I made contact with people using that man's name, and I didn't!! Joy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Added by Sue at Langley Vale on 20/07/2004 16:06:15 He has appeared as the link in 3 of my contacts. My maternal G Grandfather, my paternal G Grandfather and my husband's paternal G Grandfather. I wonder if it's a coincidence that I haven't contacted anyone on GC about my husband's maternal G Grandfather? Just a thought! Sue Have also e-mailed GC/GR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Added by Marion from Merseyside on 20/07/2004 15:59:28 Going back to what Donna said about this JHT contact name... it will be interesting to see if he comes on and says anything, cos if this was happening with one of the names off my tree and I wasn't responsible I would be on here saying just that! Just a thought, Marion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Added by Melinda In Cardiff on 20/07/2004 15:56:17 i,ve emailed them too lol, they will be fed up with all the emails. melinda -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Added by Marion from Merseyside on 20/07/2004 15:54:09 I know it has happened before, but don't think we should blame GC until we know it is them ... and then we can have a good old moan about them! lol -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Added By Joy Kentish Maid GC on 20/07/2004 15:41:51 | Update Message | Delete Message PS I thought by putting it on here, more notice might be taken by them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Added by June Nr Preston in Lancs on 20/07/2004 15:36:53 I think they have already had quite a few emails, just wish they would acknowledge they are looking into it -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Added by Elaine Farrance ( in Happy Harlow ! ) on 20/07/2004 15:32:39 I emailed them earlier too.... Elaine x -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Added by Marion from Merseyside on 20/07/2004 15:27:45 Donna, just put the same on original thread. Perhaps we should ALL send him a contact! LOL Joy, I emailed early on too, you think they could at least put some sort of acknowledgement on the Board, even just to say they are looking into it! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Added by Strump (In Sussex) on 20/07/2004 15:25:09 I have emailed the family member, who i assume is the one attaching the name. I just asked for his attention in the matter so it wont happen anymore. Donna

I had him seven times have got rid of him but in doing that have got rid of viewing my contacts trees so if you allowed me to see you tree can you please contact me and open them up again as i can't remember the ones that have gone. Sorry Melanie
