Hi, you have to ask the member if you can see her tree. You can't see anyone's tree without permission.

Have you replied to the member and asked what the connection is? ask for the name of the person she thinks links you to her.

If you have had an email alert and you click on that it will take you into the personal message box where you should see where it says 'their tree view'. If you click on that it will open her tree. If you put one of the names she gave you into the search box at the top and, when the drop down box drops down click on 'this tree', it will take you to that name in her tree. You should be able to see if any of your names are linked.

Or, speak to her again. Say the names mean nothing to you and ask how she thinks they are connected to you.
