      Don't expect too much.

      I cannot help as I do not have the requisite subscription to GR.

      However, I was in a similar situation to you. Another member of this site passed a message for me, Then I waited for a response, and waited, and waited. I am still waiting, but still hopeful.

      Some people make contact straight away. My you be so lucky. If not, have patience.

              Well, I'm still twiddling my thumbs waiting for a reply :(.

              I have just had a scout around GR with 'my' names and there are people there who appear to be good matches. Why haven't they contacted me???

              I have added more details, and some parents, that I have discovered since I put me tree on there, in the hope that someone will contact me.

              One particular match that hasn't contacted me is irksome as they have got the correct details, the IGI submitted record being wrong.

                  While you're waiting, I'll say "if it's that vital you could always cough up a sub." :D:D

                    Rose, I am also waiting for people to get back to me, I assume that they have lost interest and no longer use the site - shame when they clearly have the same people in their tree as I do:(

                      Don't forget that if the person who has been contacted on your behalf isn't a paid-up member either, then they can't contact you directly - they would only be able to reply to the person who contacted them and maybe they don't want to do it that way?

                        Oh it's so frustrating isn't it Rose. I'm no longer a paid up member over there. Several months ago with the hot matches thingy there was a lady who had 10 of mine, all correct. I was a bit suspicious and did nothing about it. Well come this Monday the lady (from Ontario) sent me a message on GR and it's patently obvious that her Grandad and mine were brothers. It's answered the puzzle as to why I couldn't find my Grandad's youngest sibling!!

                        I opened my tree for her (well at least I think I did!) but haven't heard anything since, lol

                        I guess I've got to be philosophical about it and take the attitude that..... well I've not known of her for these past 64 years and just be patient

                          That never crossed my mind.

                          I am just a bit saddened that you have had the same result as me. I am still waiting, with slowly diminishing hope.

                          You cannot be optimistic without hope.

                            Ah, never thought that they may have lapsed also. I assumed that because the match popped up now it had only recently been added to their tree

                              Hmmm, I remain optimistic! I have just had another shuftie with one particular name and the person who also matches some of my other ancestors added this one within the last 14 days.

                                I can't really remember exactly how GR works, Rosie, but couldn't they have joined with a free membership and built their tree on there without paying?

                                    Yes, I suppose that would follow as I am lapsed and was able to add to my tree last night.

                                        But just imagine stumping up for a sub and they STILL don't reply!
