I contacted a cousin through this site and it was weeks before he came back to me . He had been on holiday in Australia.

Sometimes there can be a bit of a delay between the message being sent through this site and the e-mail notification coming to the person's e-mail account, I think.

I have often come onto this site, read my messages and then several hours later found a "new" e-mail notifying me of a message on here. When I click the link, I find I've already read it.

They might have a new email address and forgot to change it on here...

If they no longer subscribe, they still get messages and emails and can still reply to you.

Can any one help with the following.
If you respond to a person found in search but they fail to get back to you - could the reason be as follows.
a. That they no longer subscribe - being so would they get email informing them that have had a contact
b. If no longer subscribe would they be able to read any communication through Genes wesite.
Thank you
