I've not long been on here and sent messages to a person who has many matches to my family tree although I've not as yet found a name link. I didn't unclick the share tree with this person and they have since added more of my immediate family on their tree. But they do not respond to my messages anyone know what I can do? This is so frustrating. Angie

Well firstly, remove permission for them to see your tree. They may have found the 'new' names themselves, by coincidence. Unfortunately, you cannot force anyone to reply to messages. OC

That's a major problem with GR. People you really want to talk to don't reply and others will copy your tree. I don't open my tree up to many people and it isn't much use to them anyway as I don't have my complete tree on here anyway. You can ask the person to delete your rellies form their tree esp if they are living people. If they wont ask GR and they will remove the people for you. Sorry if heaps of people have replied to this by now. I had to do mummy duty part way through my reply. Toni
