Whenever I add a name to my tree, before moving on I click the search button to the right ('Site Search: Find names in other people's trees'). Far more effective than the silly 'Hot Matches'.

I think that's a good idea! Thanks for the tip. However, if it hadn't have been for hot matches, I wouldn't have met my partner in crime who lives in Belgium and is researching the same line. It had to be more than a coincidence we had so many names in common!
