Hi Kim, I've been working on my Weatherall line lately and managed to add quite a few families thanks to the various censuses. I have also made contact with a distant cousin from Harrogate. This morning I finally found my link to the Askrigg Building Firm which started about 130 years ago. By the way, I woke up to 7 emails and have had 2 since. xxx Jim

No, Ann Not correct, see other thread! I still get Hot Matches from people who have entered no birth date or birth place - GR match on names alone. OC

Um - dunno, just have a vague memory of being able to opt out, when they first started. But do you have a Hot Match button in the green panel on the left? If so, what happens when you click on it? OC

Think I will contact Gr and ask why. Surely I should have the same hot matches that hubby does, especially as I have been a full member for 3 years and him a non paying one for a few month's!!! Kim

I registered my hubby as a 'free' memeber to do his 'line'. He has me as a 'Hot match' but I have never had him! All the names on his tree are on mine, he get's 'hot matches' but I have have never had any! Actually, I have not had any, even on my tree in about the last 3 month's! can anyone give me any suggestions as to why please. Kim
