Hi, I have 44 hotmatches with one person. Having emailed them a few times in case they weren't on here much, I still have had no reply. Every time I 'prove' that someone belongs in my family and add them, i have another match with that one person. As was said above, I can't see a problem with writing down all the details you find and then going on to research them to make sure they are the same family. I haven't done it yet but can't see any problem in doing so. Good luck, Bex |

No, Paul I don't see anything wrong in that at all, as long as it's used as a basis for further research and you go on to 'prove' the line. |

On more than one occasion I have e-mailed an obvious match but received no reply. After a month or two I have decided they're not going to reply and used the search facility to bring up all the people with the surname I was interested in. Quickly scrolling down I look out for the word 'yes' next to the contact name. Every time that their name comes up I make a note of the name, birth date and location next to it. I can build up quite a list of names that way without having access to their family tree. I can then use that list to contact other people researching the same names and establish a family tree that way. There's nothing wrong with this, is there? |
