Who's prepared to bet that they end up with less hot matches than they started with? I have 17 at the moment. Genuine matches and I've made contact with most of then (usually before they appeared as hot matches). But two have removed their trees from the site, so I reckon my list will go down to 15. Conversely, those who are now in my discarded hot matches will reload their trees and the previously rejected John Edwards will all appear as new matches. Ho hum.

Just got mine, I had 4 pages, but they only go up to the letters But....... Now considering most of my main relatives in my tree start with the letter M, I presume I wont ever get those hot matches! Just looked at the FAQ re Hot matches and it says Hot Matches looks at each individual in your tree, then it goes through the database and brings back to first 100 matches with these people. This page will refresh approximately every 14 days bringing you the next 100 matches. We set the limit to 100 matches as any more can be quite overwhelming. The Hot Matches page will show an exact name and year of brith match. So if they set the limit at the first 100, I will never get the ones I need!

Ellen Report 9 May 2006 18:02

One of the 'undocumented features' seems to be that is one of your existing Hotmatch connections refreshes their tree, it appears as a 'new' member next time Hotmatches is run. So i suppose is all 100 refresh then you never move any further on.....?

Hi all, Got mine today - unfortunately added a John Brown last week and so got 9 pages worth (all discarded!) Seriously, when I discard they are ending up in the ignored matches link! Anyone else having that trouble? Linda
