Hi

I have been a subscriber to G/R for several years. I have noticed that over the last twelve months or so, when I send a message to another subscriber re "could we be related" I have had no response to my contact. It is very disheartening not to receive a reply, even if it is sorry we have no connection.
Has any one else had this

Best wishes
Ros

Hi

As Jax says check your sent messages and see if they have been opened.
Maybe they no longer have internet or maybe...no longer with us.

Ros,
just in case you don't know how to check if they have been opened, go to your sent messages box and see if the envelope next to the names has changed colour, then you will know if they have been opened, if they have then the people concerned are ignoring your email and if they are still closed then the person has either left the site or changed their email address and not informed Genes or possibly is no longer around .
Good luck
