PLEASE could members who ask for access to a family tree, state who they are looking for, and not just "Request access to tree"
Thanks, Liz

I wish!

I think GR would do better getting rid of those automated messages altogether - all the time they are there newbies (in particular) will think that's what everyone sends!

Thanks for the replies. I asked the member which names they were researching and none of the names were in my tree. They said they had been notified of a "possible match" by GR.

Thanks for the reply - my hot matches are generally "cold" matches, with no connection at all.
