I've just got an email about a Family Trump. It was for Helen Campbell but I don't have her in my tree. Should I look and see if she ought to be there. Are GR doing my research for me? Has any one else had these false Trumps?

I personally ignore all those emails from GR as more often than not already discounted the 'matches' they send me.

And yes I often get some obsure name with no connection to my tree.

Is it perhaps the maiden name of someone called Helen in your tree?

I often get the email we have found connections to other trees and the when I look all the trees listed I have already been in contact with the owners and we have opened trees with each other .Waste of time !!

I suppose it could be some one's maiden name. I usually ignore these Trumps but this seemed so strange when I don't have a single Campbell in my tree.

How could you receive an e-mail addressed to another person?
