Margaret, not sure whether you meant the hot matches, or just that when searching anywhere, there are too many possibilities? |

I agree with InspectorGreenPen that most GR members want to make contact with others searching the same lines rather than cadge some census credits. It is therefore counterproductive to falsify entries on one's tree. It is also morally dubious to hide one's own names while searching the trees of other members. |

Sorry, I do not believe that the main reason people become members of GR is to seek the help of other members in tracking down their ancestors via census and other records. |

The main reason for GR is to match with other members trees is it not? |

I have a couple of people on my tree with very common names so get lots, and lots, of hits which are not relevant and take ages to sort out. Anyone know how to deal with this? Thanks |
