Hi Christine,

I too have had matches with someone whose board name is Do Not Contact. Although it's frustrating as I would have like to have made contact with them, I guess they just do not want to correspond with any members.

Thanks all for your comments. Yes, it could be because of a death. In all the years I've been on here, never had a message like that and wonder if the person had "blocked" me though I can't think why!! I always reply to my emails on here (even if I know the person and don't particularly like them!) but I am always polite an wouldn't put a "block" on even if I knew how. Petty, unless it really is because of a death which would be understandable.

I've just received an email to say a match has been found with a person in my tree. It then said "do not contact this member". I've never had a message like that, does anyone know why? I don't have any "issues" on here and generally everyone is helpful so I'm at a loss to understand....
