Zoe - pml I've actually got an Octavious, and a Septimus !! There is just something very odd about these two chaps. Both asked for the same info on a rellie in early 1800's, but their trees are nowhere near back to that point. One of them emailed me from his holiday (?) the other sent me every contact point including his address and phone number. Hey no skin off my nose, the lady in question is not a direct rellie so was OK to give them the info. It's just that they were so persistant to get the details and then nothing, and I know I sent them the right woman. Oh yeah, and when I asked each of them if they had been in contact with he other, they neither confirmed or denied, just didn;t say. Ho hum.......Jeanne

why not feed one of them a piece of duff info - like a made up child - and see if it appears on both trees obviously make it an easily spottable name like Octavius or Wilhelmina

Thanks ladies. They have different member nos. and I have access to both trees (very small, less than 50 peeps in each) I have sent them info but not so much as a thanks - other incidents are still making me suspicious that they are one in the same, but why bother !! Probably just me being paranoid.

Obviously I have not woken up properly yet. If you have two different names in your contacts then there will be two different memberships numbers. If someone changes just their name then the name shown in your contact list changes ie would not show as a separate contact. Maureen Who is drinking coffee to wake up LOL

You have them in your contacts. If they let you view their tree you will soon find out. Marion

Yes. Go into Messages - then Contacts. You have to hover your cursor somewhere over to the right of the persons name. It should show two numbers - one being yours 4469365 Maureen Update It is actually the bin sign that you hover the cursor over - message should show up as delete contact from member number etc

I think I am being 'milked' of info by two contacts who are actually the same person. Is there a way I can see their member nos to prove it ?
