I have just had a message from someone and all it says is Can i see your tree. I have not contacted anyone with his name. Have sent a message back asking what family he his interested in and ask for some names. Any one else had this would be interested to know. Val

Oh i hope he is but the name is not in my tree,so he could be a distant relative . I have had contacts with many people but they usually say who they are interested in,thats why i thought it strange . Val

I had this from a newbie who when questioned said he thought looking at my tree might give him ides for his?????? Obviously I didn't give him access!!!

I had one a few weeks ago. I messaged them back asking who they were interested in and I still havent heard from them, shows how interested they were :-) (more than likely they wanted to be nosey!) Karen

Like Rose, I asked what they thought the connection could be and I received a further 3 requests to view the tree with no explanation. Permission was not given! Jacky

At one time if you sent a message to someone, a request to view tree was automatic. I think that has now been changed. The person who asked me actually sent a message requesting to view. jacky
