General Chat

Would you give someone you meet though hot matches your address and phone no Say's he is related and has let me see his tree Valxx

i personally wouldnt maybe you could email each other instead until you got to know them better

No to both address and definately telephone number until you are absolutely sure, e-mail address at a push

No I definitely wouldn't, not until I had definite proof that they were a relation of mine, maybe ask other people on your tree if they know this person and how they are related, e-mail is safer but still make sure of them first.

No way
not yet , get to know them a bit first

Was not happy as he sent me his e-mail and it would not work also he has some of my family in his tree but could not see were it connected to to his tree and Mitch keeps telling me to to be careful who i get in touch with. Thanks for your time Valxxx

I've been chatting to my 3rd cousin at least once a week for about 18 months, I've seen photo's of her & her family, I now know her age & the town where she lives but we still haven't swapped addresses or phone numbers. Neither of us have ever bothered to ask although yes I'd now give her both if she wanted them.

I've made contact via this site with family members never met up with and have met with daughter of a cousin tho. We share info and we've swopped addys and tele numbers. I've met with several cousins as initial contact made by phone from UK Directories and all of them very interested in family history. Also met up with a cousin's daughters from Oz last year tho' have never met that particular cousin.

If you want to meet with your 'relative' but feel a bit wary, play it safe and meet in a town other than where you live.

There's no problem with giving someone your Email address as, if necessary, you can 'Block' the sender if there's any problems. Hope this helps. Ron

NO..... it takes time to build confidence in a stranger.

I use a separate email address for genealogy but would never give my address or phone number.
