Stacy It sounds like the automated message on this site. The one where you just click the box to ask which question you want. I have had several of these. I always reply asking for details of who they are interested in. If they answer I then have a look at the person and see if the info matches mine. I only open my tree if we definately have the same person. Carole xx |

I sent a two nice messages regarding several hot matches to a lady, but received no reply, so I just send an 'open your tree please' to her, and she did, so I could see where she fits into my tree. I never received a reply from her, but she did give me access to her tree - I can tell her five more generations of our family and share lots about them, if only she would send me sign !!! But truly, I would be wary of just opening it to someone without any kind of contact first. Diane |

Someone asked to see my tree 3 times and each time I asked him which name he was interested in , he never replied to any of my requests. I wondered if he is doing genealogy for a living and being on this site he gets a lot of info. Josephine |

If another member is rude enough to request to see your tree without giving any explanation about a probable connection, then I would hve thought the most appropriate response would be to delete the message without acknowledgment. |

I had one of these recently and when I asked what the link was they apologised and said that they had clicked on my name by mistake, so I would always check before opening. |

It would be unusual not to acompany with at least a descriptive email. |

It sounds a bit odd for someone just to ask to see your tree. People normally mention who it is they are looking for and I reply saying whether or not I think there is a link and open my tree. Or if I am approaching someone I will say who I think the link is and open my tree to them to help illustrate it. Why would anyone pass up the opportunity for a little chat? Regards Abigail |

Have they said what they think the connection is with their tree? If not I would reply asking them to tell you what they think is the connection between you before allowing them to see your tree. Kath. x |
