Is it possible to find out from Genes Reunited when a member added the names to her tree as I am trying to contact someone who now seems to be inactive and not replying to messages.
I am helping a lady with her search for her siblings and I seem to have found them all placed by a GR member using two Surnames for each of them.

Thanks

Edna,

Usually people start adding their names to their tree straight away as soon as they join the site.


The person you are trying to contact could have let their membership lapse or are too ill to do their or even changed their email address and not passed the email address on to GR.

I believe this person has the same name in each of the trees with these membership numbers and I have tried to send a message to each one but not had a reply from any of them, is there a way to tell how old these membership numbers are, the person was born in 1966

You have been a member since 2005,your membership number is 3822406

I would roughly say around 2007/2008 as people were joining pretty fast around those years even the year you joined.

The way I can tell your membership number is by putting the cursor over your name .

You need to keep sending messages a couple more times and then if you still don't get a reply then I am sorry but they may have changed the email address and not doing their tree any longer.

Thanks Sue that makes things a little clearer now
I will send a few more messages but it isn't looking hopeful

I have a cousin (and a granddaughter)with several tree memberships...........
chiefly because they for got their login, so started another

but didn't get the bug, as it were......

Thank you KenSE that gives me a date to work with looking for messages elsewhere,
Bobtanian I thought that would be the case too.

Through trees on here I have managed to piece together all the siblings of my friend and now they are all in contact for the first time in their lives, so thank you GR trees do help.
