You know from here that it can take ages for a reply and as I said a few weeks ago many of those that did a dna test have absolutely no interest.
Only one person ever made a first contact with me ( we couldn’t see a match).
I’ve sent out loads many don’t answer. One person didn’t reply and closed acccess to his tree. But I did know who he was and where he fitted in. Maybe he didn’t like me pointing out a common mistake.

names, I guess it does take time to reply but some of these people have been on the site as it tells you the last time they visited! So they must have seen my message.

Oh well, shall just plod on with my own trees and find a few stray twigs to add on .

The most difficult thing is where a gr grandparent has married 3 times and had children in all 3 marriages! No wonder my head is scrambled lol
