Clicked on the 'My Ancestors' option to check something on one of my Uncle's line and the above 'Mystery Man' appeared on the page twice. He is NOT one of my additions, does NOT appear anywhere on my 'Your Names' summary page, and before you ask, No-One else updates my tree. Does he belong to someone out there? How did he appear on my ancestors page?

Ok, just done a 'Search Family Tree' and he seems to belong to 'Added by Angela - member no. 3020144'. Has this happened to anyone else's tree? Suppose I will need to contact GR and ask them to sort it out. Weird.

Margaret He's on mine too! He's listed as both the maternal and paternal grandfather of my paternal great grandmother - if that makes sense! LOL Who is he and where did he come from? Has anyone else got him as an ancestor? Sue xx Just noticed him listed as my maternal great grandmother's paternal and maternal grandfather too!

Well, I went off to watch William & Mary and came back to see all these replies....nice to know I am not alone then in having this 'Mystery Man'! I hope the person who really has him in her tree doesn't mind all us 'unexpected' additions to the family. Hopefully GR will put things right soon. Hmmm....wonder if any other of our ancestors have been going walkabouts...

Yes, I've got him among my ancestors. Sometimes I can view tree and sometimes can't. Perhaps he's hopping about. Carol :(

Pat Report 18 Apr 2005 14:14

Mags, How did you get your tree back, did you contact Genes? I'm fed up not only do I get booted off twice within a few minutes, but I can't view my tree it's gone from error notice 800a9c68 to this error message: Error: ActiveX component can't create object(429-HappyGenesReunited) Grrrrrrr.......

Pat, I now have W.H.P.Harris ten times. The basic tree appears, but when I try to switch to maternal line the error shows. W.H.P.Harris shows up only in the ancestors, not in the actual tree. I am not getting much work done!!! Pages keep disappearing and I have been denied access to my names as well. Mags
