I ticked the box that said I didn't need e-mail warnings of hotmatches, and mine have now stalled. No new ones at all for months. Christine |

After looking through several pages of JOHN JONES quite a few times I thought enough was enough ... but I wanted to still receive my Hotmail Matches .......... so I changed John's name to John J*O*N*E*S. I works for me. Annette |

Yes PP I do - nothing ventured nothing gained. I found a great aunty that nobody knew existed - she did die as a tiny baby same quarter as she was born in bless her, but we all learn new things every day! R x |

Heather, just think yourself lucky you have got as far as the 'J's! Mine still haven't got past the 'D's (nearly all John Dawsons this time)! Kate. |

I'm as irritated by Hot Matches as the next person but I did pick up on one recently and I am now seeing photos of a half sister that I had very little contact with (she is now deceased) I am in touch with her grand daughter - it's fabulous! Cheers, Horatia |

I wouldn't mind 20 pages for one name, if they had the same place of birth as mine. I received 17 lines with my name on and not one was born in Leicester, England as I have keyed, in fact 11 weren't even born in this country. I could rip a tissue !!!! |

I made the beginners mistake of lising a member of my tree as 'unknown'. Oops! I received so many 'matches' on that one. Matt |

I wasn't intending to stop the Hotmatches - I just reckoned I visited GR often enough not to need an e-mail about them. Christine |
