Paid member or not, they can still reply to your messages. They just cannot initiate contact themselves Sam

If you send a message they can reply to you,regardless of whether they pay or not. Non paying site users cannot start the exchange of messages,but can reply. Perhaps they are no longer interested in their tree,do not visit the site and therefore don't see your messages. If they have changed their e-mail address but not notified GR they won't get the e-mail notification from GR. There is a way of checking how many are in the tree and when the tree was entered on GR,it needs the membership number. Glen

The person concerned could be ill, on holiday, having computer problems........... Or, as suggested above, no longer interested. Reg
