Prior to advertising the fact that I had subsituted Smith with 'Commonest Name' for the purpose of avoiding Not matches can someone explain how I still received an email from another member entititled with the words 'John Commonest Name ' when I am the only person who has used this ...??...ie there are only 2 people in 70 million called 'Commonest Name' and they are mine.....how did the system throw them up? |

How long ago did you change it? Maybe the Hot match list was prepared by GR ages ago? I keep receiving Hot Matches for people who no longer have their tree on here! Merry |

hiya Ego, there was a thread similar to this last night, it appears that GR are aware of some 'problem' (ahem) with the hot (Not) matching, HTH Julie |

Merry What I mean is how come the system has matched them up in the first place...am I to assume that everyone with a John born in 1854 or whatever got given this a hot match,as they certainly couldnt have had any 'commonest Names ' in their tree.....and if so thousands of people must have been matched up lol.... |

And what I meant was, Could GR have made the match before you changed the name?? How long ago did you change it? Merry |
