These are more annoying than Hot Matches.
You click on veiw matches and every single one of them I have had prior contact with.
It would be more useful if they with people that you had not contacted before.

Family Trumps? Not heard of them - the only ones I know are OH and the dog when they're slobbing on the sofa. OH always blames the dog and the dog always walks away - even if he is the guilty party!

I will look out for those!

No
I get emails that say Genes may have a match for someone in my tree.
When you click on the link it comes up with a page about Family Trumps. it comes up with an ancestor says that there are so many matches.
Click view matches and you get a page with a list of matches and every one I have had previous contct with.

No - never had those. Are these new or have you had messages for some time now?

I totally agree with Spud, the family trump e-mails are a waste of time, I have not had one yet outside of my existing contacts. If it actually helped and put you in contact with new people it would be a great system however as it stands it is as much use as a chocolate teapot.
