Apparently if you go back far enough we're all related. Now there's a thought. I live in one of the shires so perhaps there's a connection. Gloria |

Blimey, I now find myself having to defend Hot Matches!!!! I agree with everything you say and it IS infuriating, but consider this. I have a man who was raised and died in a place. I ASSUME he was born there too, although nobody has SAID that and I cannot find a baptism for him in his home town. I am therefore widening my searches as I suppose I dont have a clue where he was really born - could be timbuctoo for all I know. I do agree though - most of these enquiries are fishing trips from people who hope they will get lucky and wont have to do any original research. At least my man is firmly documented from the age of 5 till his death - its just his **** baptism I need, to see who his mother is (dead before first census, no marriage found for father) OC |

I had one was your XXXX (no date or place) the daughter of J & M? I actually have 2 different ladies called XXXX on my tree - one married into a Yorkshire family and the other into a Norfolk family. I sent back a polite little note saying who each of them married, but haven't heard another word. Jay |

I have had two people contact me today about names in my tree. Obviously they had a 'Hot Match'. The places the people were born were nowhere near where mine were from. One was even born in Australia when mine was Derbyshire. I was asked if it was the same person. For goodness sake, 'put brain in gear' springs to mind. I find it difficult not to be sarcastic when I get messages like this. Margaret |
