	If someone messages me about someone on my tree, they click on the name of my rellie and write their message. I'm OK so far lol........but, is there any way that I can find out which of my rellies of that particular name they are talking about, other than messaging them back and asking them??? For instance, my dad was William Burchill, but I have 12 William Burchill's on my tree spanning around 200 years, so when someone writes, ''Did your William marry Ann and have a daughter called Mary in Bristol?'', I ALWAYS seem to have to write back saying, ''Which William are you thinking of?''. Is there another way?? Happy Hunting - Sarah

	Trouble is, when they click on the name at their end, they know that are clicking on William born 1820, but GR doesn't pass that helpful bit of info on to me, as far as I know... Is the survey still on the homepage?? Maybe I could fill it in AGAIN?? lol Sarah
