General Chat

I think I made contact with this person a while ago thinking, wow so many surnames matches, but I can't find him/her in my contacts so I think I must have deleted it. From memory I was directed to an Australian website called a genes 'hub' (whatever that is). What's going to happen on Hot Matches Day? Bombarded again? Selena

Just sent my moan to Genes. Hilary

I for one are getting fed up with all these entries. Yes GR please put a stop to this. Val

Looks like I am related as well. What if we all bombard Genes with a moan about him. How does he add anyway. Hilary.

Seems most of the members of GR are related to him...lol Anne :)))

Just checked and I also have loads of death entries for West Australia on most of my names!

Thanks for that Jacky........... so glad I asked now...wouldn't want to get the boot. Lin XX

Not sure whats going on there, I dont really see the point. Marion

Lin, I have his email address too (could be a she!). I think it could be within breach of terms and conditions to display the email address of another member. People now know you and I have it if they want it! Jacky :-)

Hi Anne, Add me to your list! He/she's got a load of my names too. Debbie :((

His full name is Chris Hewison, I still have an email address for him, which I took note of but, being a newbie, I wasn't sure if it would be the done thing to put it up..........perhaps you kind folk could advise me? Lin XX

I do suggest he could do what I did about unwanted certificates... put up a thread on the Tips board with all these death entries on... anyone could search there in case they want an Australian death entry!! COME ON GR TEAM... SORT THIS OUT PLEASE!! Thanks, Anne :)))

YUPPP this Chris has added lots of my family names too. My grans bro went to W Australia in the early 1900.s I,m in touch with the family so know he died in the early thirties. There is one listed in my matches with the same name but died in the 1890,s. If I hadnt known any better i might have been fooled into contacting him & MAYBE opening my tree. This guy need stopping. Shirley

Christine and Jackie J... If you rememeber we have had this thing before where people have put ancestors on their 'tree' and for us to contact them, only to find that they are adding just names... I was actually sent to a website... The woman concerned promptly took her tree off GR and changed the password to the site... which to me made me smell a rat!! This *Chris' looks like he is doing the same thing... and trying to get hold of access to trees...Why??? Do you smell a rat? Cos I do!! Anne :)))

Add my name to list hes got loads of my names

I thought there was someting funny everytime I looked at my names Chris came up with a load fromAustralia

I know what you mean, I have some lines that are hard to progress on, and when I check the name match, I get excited, just to find it is him again, I wish GR would do something about it. Bev

I posted this reply on another thread earlier for those who are interested in the person who posts the Australian Indexes. (I noticed he has 113070 people in his tree!!) This is the reply I had from someone when I wrote to them (11.1.06)asking why they had so many of my names listed. I wrote again this week when more appeared and asked if any of the people they list, are actually related to them. I haven't heard back. But why put so many on your tree if nothing to do with you?? Jacky :-) 'Thank you for you interest in the names I have on Gens. I have listed a DEATH index for West Australia. Being a death index it does not show. 1)Parents 2)Who they married 3)Where they were born 4)If the Surname is their Married or Maiden Name 5)Children During the next months I will be visiting the Cemeteries in Perth taking photos. If the person listed is part of your family I can try and take a photo for you. Please keeping mind that not all people have graves and not all graves have head stones and some grave sites have been redeveloped. While searching for my Extended Family lots of people have help me from all over the world with it. One person has sent a photos of my sons 5th great grand-parents grave. This is one way of me returning the help. One person as send 30 years trying to find a family member and they were surprised to find them buried in West Australia I have a list of 200 names requiring checking to see if they have head stones so far. I hope this explains why your family member is listed. If you require further info please email me again'

Maybe the GR team would let him know that it is very easy to set up your own website for this kind of thing.as Kate said.... so if you are reading this CHRIS please take note!! Anne :)))

I see what you mean. I had a look at my tree matches. Deanna X
