Not necessarily Bob, I've had hot matches for someone I don't have in my tree....can't remember the name, but to illustrate, I had a match with my Joe Bloggs, b 1866 London...with someone else's Fred Greed b 1926 Winchester.....

So it stands to reason that unknown unknown does not have to actually be in your tree LOL

sorry to be daft............

BUT to have matches for UNKNOWNS
you MUST have some in YOUR tree?

ME? if I dont have a real name, then I leave it blank.......

Bob

the system only recognises what you type......if two or more people have typed the same thing........then its a match.......why not use an obscure ID for the Unknown?
querty ioup? or summat?

me and my darling wife at our wedding in 1960

Surely they could put some sort of filter in that can see these things?
I also gets lots of Living Relatives matches.
