Can you believe this. I have had a response from someone who has a proven, though distant, connection. She asked me for info. I gave her all I had, and her response was 'sorry I was looking for living descendants'. No further info on the connection at all. How short-sighted is that? Just living descendants??? I thought this was family History!?!

Wendy Yes, it puzzled me for a long time! There seem to be two sorts of members on here - those looking for living relatives and those looking for dead ones! I suppose its because I always think of Family History as going backwards, not forwards. Olde Crone

I would like to enter into the discussion on Hot Matches. I have had nothing but the best help in people replying to my requests for information. I live in Sydney, Australia and without these wonderful sites would be at a loss to know how to proceed. Patricia Cooper nee Bex
