Portonian , although not related to this thread, I have news bearing your family tree on My Heritage! I was notified today of you confirming a match between your tree a year ago (no idea why it told me today!) and mine concerning Anna E Sharkey, wife of Hugh Sharkey who are my Great Great Grandparents. Finding your email on that site is a premium service and I was not prepared to pay for this service since I use ancestry more for my family tree now. Also I am inexperienced with this site; and so I am unaware if how to send a personal message, if possible. So the point of this longwinded message so to see if we can make contact and exchange what we know about each others trees! Looking forward to your reply, doddle37

Doddle,  you have to make a few posts (3?) before you can use the PM facility. Just add your tuppensworth to any subject going pal.

Skoosh.

Everything on MyHeritage is a premium service. When I first put my tree there, you could contact others when a match was flagged up. Over time they have insidiously introduced charges for all the services that were initially free. I find this sneaky and underhand and like you I refuse to pay.

Now, if you write a post agreeing with me and one thanking 'Skoosh' for his/her input, you will then be able to send a Personal Message to Portonian.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Forfarian, I totally agree I started my family tree on there about two years ago but ceased to use for a while due to lack of success in my research. However, I resumed my research after some family members found some old documents that helped me. Alas, when I returned to my heritage, I found it too reliant on its premium services and swapped to ancestry, which I've found easier to use and which has some handy features.
Also, thanks skoosh for your input it has really helped me!

 :D

Forfarian was trying to hint that if you made a separate post thanking Skoosh in addition to the reply to his own post this would bring you up to the 3 posts required to give you access to the messaging system here on Rootschat.
