Yesterday I had 139 individuals in my tree. Today I entered another individual and updated the info on another eleven. I now have 151 individuals in my tree! Going off to look at my list of names.... Olde Crone

Oh, come on Marjorie, you wouldn't really want them to do it in front of you, now would you. How embarassing! Lol Tina PS You are doing better than most of us, whose ancestors keep disappearing.

Tina Perhaps I've got everyone's missing rellies - I cant get into my list of names to find out! And, my rellies are not noted for their coyness, so I wouldnt be surprised WHERE they did it! Olde Crone

I just wonder where all these people hide whilst our backs are turned. Does GR have a box somewhere with rellies just waiting to be returned to their rightful owners? Must be a bl**dy great box!! Jess

Well if anyone finds any of mine, can I have them back please cos my entire tree is still missing Apparantly I've deleted it myself so any suggestions as to how I managed this without internet access for almost a month would be gratefully received!

(Second go at posting a message) Well, I have counted them all and the number is correct. This means that up till yesterday, GR had counted them WRONG. Olde Crone

Just a passing thought before I go (late again) to work. I wonder if cousin marriages could account for the discrepancy in the GR numbers at all? We would count one person, but GR does not approve of cousin marriages and would count them twice.

oooh, Tina, you could be right...lots of cousin marriages in my tree...however, no, you're wrong, I plodded through my names list and no-one is on there twice, except one I know about and can't be a**** to delete cos I'd have to delete nearly everyone, so just added her again with correct kids etc. Mmm, wonder if its significant that I have 11 UNKNOWNs on my tree (sorry about that, you serious researchers, but I can't put kids on without UNKNOWN). Another of life's many small mysteries. Olde Crone
