Hi everyone
I just wanted to ask if you feel I am being pedantic not automatically opening my tree, to requests. on GR.
I have put in lot's of hours in devloping my tree and it includes so much more information than just names and dates, some of it personal and only of interest to someone with an interest to that branch of the family.
If I make contact with someone, I always make sure I let them know who I am interested in and a bit about them, so the recipient knows who I am interested in and my relationship. So I feel somewhat irritated when someone just give me a name opens their tree and says I can look to see what relationship they have.... especially when the tree doesn't open (probably a GR fault...I know)
If they are reasonably close, ie not a tree bandit. I do take the time to put all the info together in PDF format from my computer tree programme, so why can't they just take the time to let me know about their relationship.
Sorry grumpy rant over... but I just wondered if it is me just being grumpy and pedantic.
