Hi everyone
I have found a connection in my tree also found that she has a GR tree as owner. I have sent her a message but feeling impatient.
Is there anyway I can find out how long ago she made her tree? I have her member number the beginning is ....Member No. 9928- - -.

Thanks for your time
Geraldine

If you're using a laptop or PC, hover your curser over your own name then look at the bottom left of the screen. (It doesn't work on a tablet) That'll give you your membership number when you joined in 2004.
It's likely they joined within a few months of you.

Have they accessed the message? See if there is still an envelope icon next to it in your 'sent messages' box.

Thanks for that tip +++DetEcTive+++

Not sure how you got the 2004 for me though? On my laptop it says...Gr.co.uk/messages/new/then the number
Dont think I'm going to be lucky and get a reply if she joined that far back. Fingers crossed she has same addy.

Message not read yet but I only posted it day before yesterday.

Members with membership numbers around 9,928,000 joined in Jan/Feb 2009.+

EDIT
If it was 992,800 that would have been around Jan/Feb 2004.

Click on your Avatar and it'll show you the month & year you joined. It'll also tell you how many times you've posted using this account.

Yours is Nov 2004, Kense Jan 2004 & me Feb 2003.

Edit - sorry if I'd assumed you meant 9928 rather than something with loads of extra digits. In that case, Kense is likely to be correct with 2009. You never know, they still might pick it up.

Sometimes, for all sorts of reasons, people take months if not years to reply to messages - don't give up hope!.
