RootsChat members contact has stopped

[cheecky face]

rootschat has been very good in my search for family history. I was recently contacted by an unknown relative and we exchanged information about shared grandparents and I was able to provide details concerning our grandparents, but now all contact has stopped and I feel like I was just used as an information provider. Obviously some people do not want to keep in touch which is fair enough.

Hi Cheecky,

I am sorry that you have not heard from a member, do you think that they could be on holiday and maybe have not picked up on your last message

If you contact me personally with the users details I can always look into this for you.

Regards

Sarah

It happens, we have to realise that not everyone will be as "nuts" as we are on the family tree business.
 Some folks just dip in and out, a passing fad maybe. I have had this happen to me many times. I help where I can,because I can, but I expect nothing back. I have been climbing my tree for almost 40 years now, and yes, I do still discover new thing's and the excitement is still there.
