I have on my tree a hot match, searching and finding my hot match, it says email the tree owner. can someone please explain if the tree owner means that person has their own tree own G/R, or does it mean that the tree owner is added on by someone else and G/R adds them too other peoples tree. Have had so many conflicting explanations thought i would ask the source. Thank you.

GR does not add anything to other peoples trees. Their matching programs are simply there to tell you that an other member may have a similar name to one one your tree.

It is then up to you to contact the other member.

What are the conflicting explanations you have heard? It would be of help to other members if you could detail them on here, for an explanation.
