Merry - think yourself lucky that you got the full list of Henry Clarks from your search! About half the name searches I have done in the last couple of days have repeatedly come up with 'Happy Genes Reunited Error' and only shown the first few matches. I hope they soon fix it. Kate.

Oh! SCREEEEEAM!!!! WHO is Thomas Willeter and why does Genes insist he is a Hot Match? I havent got a Thomas Willeter! AND WHAT'S MORE (up to fever pitch now) 'Susan has eight names in her tree which match yours' - and shows me 3. Jane has one name in her tree blah blah - and shows me 15. I messaged two which are definitely mine, one I have messaged before, she's added another five names which I could have given her, and fifty more besides. After I typed the message, up came a screen which said something about 'diffculty in reading this page'. Am I wasting emails on someone who isnt getting them? I now have 37 pages - and I'M up to Trafford! Tee hee. Olde Crone

Oh, how I long for the day when the GR Programmer works out how to match not only names, but birth years AND continents! I am utterly SICK of Thomas Green, born 1975 in Australia - he's NOT MINE! No Green in my family ever went to Australia! I dont have ANYONE on my tree who was born in 1975! I still use My Tree Matches - its much simpler, and at least you can skim through the page and ignore all the totally wrong ones - why does Hot Matches have to be sooooooo fiddly! Olde Crone

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

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.
