I too wonder about this...around Feb this year I was really excited to be contacted by a rellie. As I didnt even know of his existence, this was fantastic. We spoke for four hours on the phone. Then zilch. Then, in Aug, I received an email sayig he hadnt forgotten me, was just going on hols, but would contact me when he got back...I'm still waiting. He hasnt seen my tree and I have MUCH more info than he does...perhaps he has been reading my postings and decided he doesnt want to be related to a barmy old woman? Olde Crone |

I know I don't understand. I have come to the conclusion that they must have a life and aren't as obsessed as me. Or maybe they have decided they don't like me? Pippa |

I was just wondering if other people experience this? Relatives make a preliminary GR contact keen to know if you are mutually related; you reply: 'definitely, this is a mutual ancestor/relative - how wonderful ... etc, please get in touch, email me back.. whatever, etc' ... and then silence! And you wonder, what that's all about? Any thoughts, experience on what the pyschology is here? |
