That's what made by computer go all strange earlier. But...I did have a match with the not so common name of Chiverall x |

I think your quite lucky being on the unknowns. My hot matches are still stuck on the first few letters of the alphabet! I think I must have seen about a million Davies's by now! |

How does hot matches work? I only seem to have had one update since it started even though I have added around 50 people. Is there somewhere where I have to turn it on?! Confused Kimberley! |

Yeah, but to get to the 'Chivrall' I had to work my way through the William and Thomas Brown's, lol |

Hi all, I just wish people would reply when you send them a message via HOT MATCH. I find it so frustrating. Gail |

Kimberely It automatically gets sent to you in an e-mail. I've got a lot of people in my tree and a lot of common names such as 'Mary Davies' so I will get a lot more 'hot matches' |

To be more exact 'Unknown Elizabeth' - so I am still on E's. But it makes a change from Unknown Ann |

I managed to find a load of my Brown relatives on the censuses the other week and so finally had enough info on them to make it worth adding them to my tree. But of course that means that I am back to getting pages full of unconnected Browns on every Hot Matches run! Kate. |

hiya, it would be nice if Genes could refine the hot match service, I have had some 'hits' from it, which I have found most helpful. However, when you get 8 or 10 pages of stuff you dont need,and there is no way of deleting the hot matches you dont want, it becomes mundane trawling thro' the pages, come on genes sort it out!!! sorry folks, Moan over regards Julie |

Doreen, dont think you can retrieve, but all you have to do is enter the name in the tree search facility and you will find it again anyway. |

Doreen the hot matches stay around. You just click view ignored matches. I find if I keep the ones that are in my tree the new ones just add to that person. No new matches today. I am still on A-H. The trouble is I find a match with one of my Blacker's or Cavell's add the exra names and then next time they come back as hot matches. I have had a few good matches but several cranks as I genuinely have a George Bush and several Churchill's in my tree as far as I know no relation to the politicians. |
