	As long as they have a tree on here, then the membership is still ongoing... that is unpaid membership and they are able to answer pm's but not initiate. However, if they have changed e-mail address, they may not get the notification They may have been seriously ill and just not well enough to mess around with ancestry They may even have died, so you wouldn't get an answer, probably, anyway. They may have added the site after watching WDYTYA and then realised they had neither the time nor the money to continue... genealogy is expensive in terms of both, lol Love Daff xxx

Member Since: October 2006 Posts: 85 Send Message	Thank you Daff, I was in touch with someone through this site about 3 years ago and have no other way of contacting him. I'd like to inform him that a close family member has passed away, so hopefully he will receive the message. Best Wishes, Fran
