Hi All I've read all the opinions for & against,i think you have to take the good with the bad. I joined as a non-paying member a week ago,within a couple of visits i saw a message from a lady i thought i could help,found i could not reply so joined straight away sorry to say no reply as yet,but on the good side i have just received heaps of help from another member who did a free look up,info that might have taken months to find.Maybe letting people look at a whole family tree is being over generous but replying to a specific request is just old fashioned courtesy,and really most of what we're doing is old fashioned !!.

I agree, it would be good manners. But everyone just isn't as polite as we are I guess!

Maz, my apologies, seems we got our wires crossed. I see now that you are referring to the emails from gr that tell you someone has requested access to your tree. Those can be ignored if you dont wish to allow access, as it is a request made through the gr system. Helen and myself were referring to people who send a message personally. I think people should realize that there is a difference.

Thankyou Marion, Maybe in retrospect that should have been my first question. "What connection do you think there is?" I will certainly remember that advice next time around. Janet
