Hello, I just had a look at my hotmatches and was extremely happy to locate someone who had 11 of my hubby's rellies on their tree. I've contacted them and have permission to look at their tree, which I've done. Sadly they have no new information about my brickwalls but I can't work out how the joint rellies fit onto his tree. It is like these people just appeared on his tree and are not related to anyone else. There appears to be no link between them and him. Is there anyway I can find out? My own PAF program will tell me how someone is related to someone else. Can this be done on GR? Thanks Toni

It should do Toni, if you click on the person involved it should give you the parents or whatever. Why dont you mail them and ask how your lot fits in, that may be easier?

hiya from what you describe, it sounds like that they have 'hidden' living rellies, a new brainwave, by GR team, Unfortunatley this has problems, as you have found out the hard way. I would suggest doing as already been mentioned, which is to contact whoever and ask them directly to explain to you HTH JUlie

Hello, Thanks for the advice. I've been out to dinner with hubby and the kids. I have tried asking the person how they are related to my hubby's rellies and in 3 emails have had no more than 15 words from the guy. I also don't think there are hidden rellies as I discovered he had a much younger brother and I'm sure his parents were there as well. I'll have another look and see if I missed something. Thanks again Toni

I'd be tempted to see if it's one of those huge trees,lot's of branches and not much trunk.How many names are in it? Glen
