I was very happy with hot matches when I first joined Genes and It really started me off finding my maternal side when a second cousin got in touch and sent me 23 photos of my grans family that he didn't know,and I did,and it helped us both.

Have not had much in latter years,but it was the start of getting back to 1650 on that side which is hard with name changes,so I have Genes to thank for that.OK you get a lot that you dismiss,and it does help when you have an unusual name.

Not sure about what happens these days.

You've done nothing ............ GR just are not producing them any more

Why worry???

Mine were always useless, so I'm glad not to be bothered with them !

Example ..........

Let's play Family Trumps!

Mary Smith
Y.O.B: 1779
Place: Launton, Oxfordshire
Children: 4

with

Elizabeth Powell
Y.O.B: 1685
Place: Towcester, Northamptonshire


Please tell me how those two ladies could be a Hot Match, or Family Trump????

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I have not had any hot matches since 2016. What have I done to stop them coming to me?
