I think that New Hot Match means newly found by GR, not recent entry to the board. That is certainly the case for mine.

Hi Margaret, They are not actually 'NEW' matches, they are just new to Genes because they haven't given you the matches before. I got one this time that I've been in touch with for over a year. I'm sure some of them are not members any more but untill Genes lets us know if a member is paid up or not we'll be left wondering. Surely it wouldn't be too hard to put current member by the name so we know they are still around.

You are so lucky I am still only at the letter B - please get me past this - my main surnames at at the end of the alphabet. Personally I have given up checking them - out of 6 new pages - none of them were a match and those that were I have already made contact with.

I've got the reply: Thanks for your email. Hot matches looks at each individual in your tree, then it goes through the database and brings back to first 100 matches with these people. This page will refresh every 14 days bringing you the next 100 matches. . As you have a large tree then it is more than likely that the first 100 matches will only equal the first letter of the alphabet. We set the limit to 100 matches as any more can be quite overwhelming. I hope this helps. Regards Erica So it could be a long long time till they get to my Vidgens and Vowleses! Kate.

Thanks F.C. Strangely enough, after my comment yesterday I received several new replies today so at least have a few more that are checked. Unfortunately no matches though. I'm waiting for the end of the alphabet too!!

No, sorry, they come from Bedminster where there were loads and loads of Vowleses. Kate.
