Member Since: March 2010 Posts: 5 Send Message	Since I have been a member of Genes Reunited,, which has been about 4 years now, I have never had one request from anyone. However, I have contacted many people and shared information over this time period and have hooked up with two cousins who are local to me. My feeling is, people are not proactive enough and need to search trees regularly. If you are after information and connections, people need to do some searching, and not just expect others to make contact. It's quite amazing what you can find out! Lisa Rust
