Hi susie Have you asked her if she signed up with a different name, ie. maiden name. It's difficult with married peeps cos they probably sign up to the site in their married name, but they have to put their maiden name in their tree..........or summat like that! lol

Hmmmm yes I would have thought it would show up. Mind you the message system isn't working at its best at the mo is it? What with blank messages and what-not. Try asking her to reply to your message and then see if she shows up in your contacts.

I too had a Karen giving me access to her tree and asking for access to mine. I can see some of what looks like my ancestors families on her tree so i asked for more details before opening my tree. But since then have not heard any more (this was last week. Ann Glos
