My family seem to dissapear after my grandparents (on my mothers side) and on my fathers side they changed the spelling of their name...

	Not a silly question, Wavey. The answer is no - you might get them as a hot match, but they might not get you in their list for quite a while. It depends on how many people are in the individual trees concerned, and what names they have. Jay
