The last three lots of Hot Matches I have received seem to be made up mainly of people with the name Henry Clark b 1854. Today I have deleted at least 6 matches for this name and year and that's from just one page of Hot Matches. However, when I did a name search for Henry Clark b 1854, there are only 14 matches on the site. So.........where are all these Hot Matches coming from? Happy Hunting - Merry x

I know the feeling, every time i get hot matches i get Davies and Jones, but i have had some good matches through them so i shouldn`t complain. Hi Cas was just wondering where your Davies and Jones`s are from. Kindest Regards Lyn.

Hi Cas I am not to sure, all i have are names and dates, Mary Jane Davies b1886 father David Davies mother Mary Ann Unknown. Jones from Mountain Ash: William John Jones b 1910 father Owen Jones mother Margaret Ellen Jones nee Jones. If these are any good to you then please let me know. Kindest Regards Lyn.

Anyone had the HAPPY GENES REUNITED error message on Hot matches. If so how do you get rid of the match? please. There is no discard match button. I have a couple of these and cannot get rid of them.

Dea, depending on what version of windows your computer is equipped with (mine is xp) go to accessories, system tools, then character map. You get all types of goodies to choose, but not all of them work. *waves to Merry* Rebs x
