Is it just me? I have sent messages to several people recently asking for info of a relative but no one seems to reply. I feel it is a waste of time asking. Do other people have this problem? :-( |

The people you are sending messages could well not use the site now for whatever reason... They may have also changed their email address so they would not know they have a message waiting |

Of all the millions of members, probably only a handful are still active. |

I have this a lot too. It may be they are no longer members of the site and although they will get an e-mail alerting them it will only go to the address they used to sign up to the site and they may have since changed it. I have five different e-mail accounts. It is also possible they may have died. You could still send messages to one of my relations on site until last year and one of her immediate family removed the tree but she died in 2005. |

If you look at your list of sent messages, the messages that have an envelope next to them are the ones that haven't been read by the person you sent them to. |

Some people aren't members any more, for one reason or another. |

I have sometimes had replies several years after a message. |

Thank you for your replies, I wondered if it was because people no longer use the site. I always offer my tree for them to view when I ask about a person. Thanks to the very few who do reply, if only to tell me that the person I am looking for is not the one on their tree. It is manners. :-) |
