hello all. I recevid a messages this morning asking about a ancester of mine his surname was the same as my ancester, i did not give him permisson too look at my tree i asked for a bit more info (see i am learning from this site) lol. He gave me permisson and when i checked he only has himself on there strange or what?

So they want you to do all the hard work for them ??? I don't think so !!! Keep your tree to yourself and email them asking them to provide information as to which relative they are interested in.

He may not have been trying to be ''funny'' in giving you permission to view him (alone!!)! He may not have realised GR ticks the box by default........................ Maybe he has a fantastically researched tree on his home program? Merry

I had a message on Friday asking to see my tree. Taking notice of what people had advised on here, I messaged back and asked who they were interested in. They messaged back and told me and although I have the person in my tree he is only a 'twig'. I answered back and told them that and said that although there was no point them looking at my tree (politely) I had quite a lot of info. on the person and had even found a photo of him, his wife and all of his children. I told them the website where I had found this picture...and....nothing. I am pretty sure they were still online when I sent it as we had done all this 'talking' in the space of 5/10 minutes. Even more glad I didn't allow access to my tree now. Linda

well since my message this morning, I have received another one only to tell me the only info he has on this person is he thinks he was from pembrokshire? will keep you informed.
