Hi Everyone, Getting fed up with Hot Matches not matching I contacted Genes and asked why they don't match Country's too and this is their reply. |

I have deleted my William Smith from my tree after finding that every 7 pages of Hot Matches contained 5 pages of William Smiths, none of whom were a match. The place of birth would have eliminated them, even if they "matched" only the county. But can see that different presentation of the location could cause problems. Perhaps GR could introduce a standard way of entering locations. |

If they used a drop down list for counties as in Ancestry it would work better. Surely they can learn from other better site technology. |

Hi Patricia and Petrina, I do understand the difficulties they have, but your Idea Petrina is a good one perhaps you could contact them and suggest it. |

Whist I agree that Hot Matche can be annoying, I can also understand GenesReU reasoning. |
