My great aunt had a son before she married, he was bought up by her parents. Thanks to family hearsay and a whole load of clues I have a good idea who the father is but of course there is no proof.

On my tree I have this info in my notes but I didn't know what to put for a name for this man which would remind me to look at the information. I decided to name him See Notes, I was surprised to find there were 15,632 GR tree matches for him!! I am now trying to think of something else as I can't bare to think about the next edition of my Hot Matches

I have changed this name four times but it always comes up with the same number of matches, 15632! Anyone know why this number stays the same?
