Have to agree with you there, Margaret. It also makes it much harder if you've got a contact who is a distant relation and you're trying to see where you fit in. I have often got completely lost when accessing other people's trees amongst the many lines going backwards. It is one of my many annoyances, and I must agree - most of the recent changes are making it harder not easier to search. (You would think, since the number of relations listed on the site has recently shot up to 102 million that they'd do something to make searching as easy as possible, but no.)

Oh b****r! GR is getting worse instead of better. They bombard us with (mostly) useless information from so called 'Hot Matches' but deny us easy access to useful information from genuine contacts. Thanks for your reply, M. Steer

In the not so distant past, if you were allowed access to another member's tree there was a list of all the names in that tree. Is this still the case and if so how to you find it? Thanks, M. Steer
