It is just the same on Ancestry. I contacted about 80 people re a major error in their trees and only 4 or 5 have replied. There were another 5 or 6 who I could not contact at all for one reason or another. |

I saw one lady post to say that she had taken over a tree from someone who had died & was working her way though 5 years worth of messages. |

I suspect some are embarrassed because they have taken over data wholesale from someone else's tree and have nothing useful or first-hand to pass on. |

Sometimes when I haven't had a reply, I simply request to see their tree and, hey ho, up it pops. It's as though some folk can't be bothered getting into conversation. |

The person whose names 'match' with yours may have left the site completely. |

They could also have changed their email address and forgotten to notify GR, so they won't know they have a message if they don't visit the site frequently. |

Some people put their tree up and then don;t use the site again. Some people may be on holiday, ill in hospital or they may even have died. |

Why do some people put their family tree up and then refuse to reply to any GR email? It's very frustrating to see family members who are a real 'find' in someone's tree and not be able to talk to the owner of that tree- at least one can talk but gets no reply. |
