I changed my name. Just checking.
It worked, my alias is now my real name!

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Thankyou all for your replies.

At the moment my brain is 'aching'. I will attempt your suggestions tomorrow.

Plain Margaret? Never! Though I take your point - am I talking to myself?

Margaret?!.........

Isn't this awful, that we're all just plain Margaret now?
Who's who and what's what?
I've always used my full married name on the boards then Genes, in their infinite wisdom decided to make me a single gal again, after 43 years of marriage!
Now I'm just plain old Margaret, same as all of the other Margarets on the boards. I wonder how many of us there are?

No you can't seem to do it via "hot matches" now but if you go to "search trees" and type in the matching rellie, when the contact's name comes up, click on "send message" and you get their number.
Is that as clear as mud?

Thankyou Ladies, Yes I can check a Member's Reg.No., if they post a message on 'the boards' BUT can I check their Reg.No., when they appear on my Hot Matches?

Hovver over a member's name and look at the tool bar at the bottom of your screen. After the word key= you will find the number.

Is it still possible to check another Member's Reg.No.?

Yesterday I went through my Hot Matches and 'whittled' them down to one page. I've just looked again and there are several pages of 'new' entries but so many of the Member's names are the same. Its seems to have been duplicated - 2 Toms, 2 Dicks and two Harrys etc., all with the same Matches.

Surely, this is more than a coincidence.
