Irecently sent a photo out to someone as requested. Haven't heard a word. I will assume that maybe the person is away but if I don't hear in the next month I shall think twice about getting the other photos that the same person has asked for. Ann Glos |

Hear Hear Di One would think that new-found members of the family would be as excited as you wouldn't you, and it's so disappointing when they are not.

what about people who ask to see your tree because they think there could be a link you get all excited then when they obviously have had a look at yours cancel the contact so you dont get to look. thats happened to many times to mention. karen |

Even worse is when you send relatives, known and newly discovered, information about the family tree, and they don't even bother to acknowledge. Don't regret sending it as it's their family as much as mine, but a spark of interest would be encouraging! I always try to acknowledge emails whatever the subject, but I do have senior moments, so if I have ever slipped up and neglected to say thanks, my apologies! Di. |

Sadly Mary, no, you're not the only one who goes unthanked....you're one of many! One of my pet peeves: those who post the same question on several boards, many here at GC take the time to respond, and the person never goes back to the thread to respond back....then goes on to post more inquiries! AAARRGGG! To all you unsung heroes, many thanks for your time and efforts! Judy :) |
