Hi All, Thanks for your comments. I first contacted this person in July of last year. In Dec of the same year I discovered another ancestor who I found was also in his tree. Then April this year I discovered another ancestor and found a new match to his tree. Not once has he replied. |

There is no concept on GR as a 'Lapsed Member' Even if there were, I'm not sure how the system would know. |

If you look in your "Sent Messages" box, then a purple closed envelop next to your email shows they haven't looked at it for whatever reason. If they had looked at it, it would show as a clear opened envelop. If this has an arrow superimposed, they've replied to it. |

Can I point out that Genes is and always has been a free site. |

Hi Sylvia, thanks for that. It's not looking good. Genes should really delete all those members trees who have lapsed their membership, and end our heartache. It's so frustrating when you think you've found a match and they don't respond. |

as far as I am aware, GR does not notify you if someone has dropped their membership. |

Hi AllanC, Thanks very much. I'ts so frustrating when it's so obvious you have several ancestors in common and they don't reply to you. But I shall do as you suggest and see what happens. |

Not that I know of, but if you try sending a personal message (click on their name, not on the purple reply button) you might get some feedback from GR if they're no longer a member. Of course, if they're still active but just ignore your PM you're no further forward but you've not lost anything by trying. |

Is there anyway of finding out if a member is still active or a lapsed member please? |
