If somebody's tree is meant to be viewed and used solely by their own family then what is the point of putting it on a public site? A simple, short letter giving one's apologies or reason for not wanting to share your family information is all it takes to stop member's frustration and annoyance at what is nothing less than pure ignorance. We are looking to find names on boards whose birth places and dates match those in our own trees; that is what this site is all about. But when those matching names are unusual and you have what you know are a husband and wife in the names lists which is proven when you contact the person about one of those names and the other immediately shows up as contacted it makes me furious when I get no response, and then still don't get a reply from a second contact message. As far as I am concerned people who do that are wasting everybody's time by their being members of this site.
