There does not seem to be a facility to filter out members that you have already been in touch with in any of the GR search options.

Certainly for me, this would be a welcome enhancement for the future.

You did not specify that you referred to new entries........had you done so, my reply would have been different.

Hi
Yes that is so but if like myself doing one name research you reply to hundreds of members over several years it takes a long time to search this system for new entry's hence my question

The results always indicate whether or not you have made prior contact with the tree owner.

Hi
If i do a family surname search on this site it will list all members that have posted a connection with that name .
You can then get in touch with any on this list re family connect to your tree.
My question is can you do a name search that does not include members that you have already been in touch with re that name? if you follow
