GENES BULLYING

Despite the "anonymisation" of all living people
Genes continues to provide matches to them
This has caused upset to several people unknown to me
6th cousins etc
As a result I have deleted my tree
and will repost with no person born after 1900
apologies to anybody whose research is affected
you know who you are
any more and i'll just cancel my subsrcription

its not like there's any more genealogy sites out there

sorry to hear this Paul
but bullying is simply not allowed.


?

you can easily alter you settings by, YOUR ACCOUNT to hide all living relatives without any hassle. but the living will show up on search trees

It is much easier to have your full tree on your computer and just a skeleton tree on GR

I keep getting hot matches to trees which I know have been copied from my tree, and it is a complete waste of time. Why do they not keep the matches to other than your present contacts?
