hiya, no you are not alone, on my second to last lot of hot matches i had two different people, message me, 'can i see your tree???' and ' did joe bloggs marry ada smith???' Now if anyone thinks i'm going to give in with requests like that they are mistaken. I did message them back and asked them what kind of information are they after, and if I could have a few names i would check if they were in my tree and get back to them, Guess what??? NO REPLY, you cant help some people, manners dont cost nothing, take deep breath and count to ten keep smiling Julie

No Sara, You are not on your own, I have sent scans of birth and marriage certificates and not had a thanks, very annoying, but have to content myself with the fact that most people do say thanks. Fuzzy

I agree, a simple thank you doesn't take long. However, I think that some of us with regular access to the internet, sometimes forget that some people only log on occasionally, i.e. once a week, once a month etc., so maybe you will get a 'thank you' at a later date. I hope so anyway. Kath. x

In the last week I have had messages off 2 different people wanting info on ancestors in my tree. Although I do not open my tree to them I have given them details they need ie marriage details, siblings, parents and grandparents. I have been waiting for a reply off both of them. And Im still waiting! I must admit some people on here do reply with a thankyou even if there is no link..But some people!!! It drives me mad... Am I on my own? Sara
