Member Since: October 2008 Posts: 53 Send Message	It has probably been asked before - but why don't I get any enquiries with matches in my tree? I am always the one asking to view peoples trees. Don't quite understand that..........

See that they are true connections and not just people interested in the name collecting game that rob all the info from your tree and never contact you again. I'm sure others will agree. Simon

	also quite a lot of members choose not to receive hot matches, so they wouldn't know they had a match with you
