See Merry 41¼ You can teach an old dog new tricks ! I never knew i could do that with the numbers. Thanks Ann :-}

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

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

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.
