From FindmyPast (www.findmypast.co.uk), news of the site's new messaging facility:
Private Messaging
An exciting new way to make connections is now live. With Private Messaging, you can contact other Findmypast members via tree-to-tree hints and start a conversation about your shared past.
Private Messaging on Findmypast
When you receive a tree-to-tree hint, you can send a message request to its owner to chat about common ancestors.
To initiate contact with someone through Private Messaging, you need to be on a Starter, Plus or Pro subscription or free trial on findmypast.co.uk.
Message other Findmypast members
When you receive a message, you'll see a small envelope when logged into the site. We'll also send you an email.
It's a way to reach out to fellow Findmypast members and talk family trees. Who knows, you may even make connections with new relatives?
