Hi,
I am hoping for some advice on the reason people remove their Tree from GR.
The person I am trying to contact has removed their Tree from what I can see, so does that mean they are not interested anymore  The email through GR contact I sent hasn't been opened, so I am assuming they also changed the email addy.
I don't think a novice would think to remove their Tree ( I wouldn't have), so she must have been quite involved with tracing her family history at one time.... so any ideas where she is keeping it now and what chances are there of me finding it
I am 99% sure she is a cousin of mine, her ggrandmother and mine were sisters and I have a photograph of them together. I am so interested in making contact with her, bought all the certificates etc, and then pipped at the post if you see what I mean 
I would think as she is a married lady that the people listed in 192 (first initial only, why do they do that?) are mostly men.

Hi,
Not sure why she would have removed her tree but may be she has a tree on A******y - sometimes people have both. If you don't have access, PM me with the details and I will have a look for you.

Ambers,
This may be glaringly obvious, but have you tried googling? You could try both your cousin's name and your common ancestor/s names. Experiment adding place names, years etc. till you get some sensible results. You may throw up some other sites she has the tree on. Worth a try if you haven't already done so. Good luck.

Thank you all for the suggestions 
I really do understand all the problems and reasons why people remove their Tree's from GR....oh, I have had some myself 
But what do you do then, copy to CD, have your own family prog...how do you make contact with people
The Tree's on Ancestry have copied my Tree, I know because this lady (my ggaunt) in the 1901 is called Jenny...and there was no such person in our family. She was registered as Jenny but married under the name of Edith and used that name all her life...apart from the photograph I have, that is why she is of great interest to me.
I have tried googling..nothing.

Hi MIGKY,
I too would be furious if they did that to me 
Excuse my ignorance but I can't think of any other free forums, can you point me in the right direction
You might think it odd that I don't know of any, but just looking at Ancestry and the mess some people have made when adding my relations was enough...so I plod on with what I am sure of and don't copy.
I will PM with the details as the lady was born in the 1960's....thank you, what a kind thought, good old Rootschat always comes to the rescue.

Hi Mgyky,
Many thanks for the Links...nothing on tribal pages about the family.
I admit to liking the GR Tree set-up as I can see at a glance if I have entered something incorrectly.
Recently I contacted a member of Ancestry, not sure if he didn't know how to use the site properly, but he said he couldn't find the rellie I was on about. He had about twenty of my rellie's listed, so have the feeling he had merged with a Tree somewhere along the line . although he said he had them all from a family bible. The other person with the same details did as I had requetsed and removed my mothers name, but managed to leave the rest my family hanging there
So I would like a simple Tree like on GR, when I do remove the details from there.

I don't have a problem with being flooded with notifications from GR, I just switched them all off.
I do my own tree-search every couple of weeks but I don't have a tree on there, just me. That way I can judge for myself whether the information looks like it could be a true match.
I keep my tree in Family Historian. It's easy to use and very flexible and much easier to browse through than the GR tree structure. I'm happy to share info with anyone with a genuine connection and can usually print out a relevant report fairly quickly.
I was worried at first that I might miss connections from people contacting me because of not having the tree on there but although about 20% of my own messages remain unopened, of the rest, most reply. And it appears as if at least one second cousin that I contacted this way only has their own name on there too, as I found no other close relatives in the same members tree.
I admit that that would be difficult if it was a really common name that I was searching for. But there are all sorts of difficulties there anyway. With more common names I do try to establish whether the member has more than one of my family in their tree before making contact unless they have given sufficient details to be sure immediately.
At this stage, I am not sure whether I will renew when it runs out next month or leave it until later, but I have made several very good contacts (mostly second cousins) over the last few months, so it was definitely worth the subscription. Most of the other contacts have turned out to have the correct people but are only very indirectly related to me (e.g. a distant cousin of theirs married a distant cousin of mine).

Hi Dudley,
That's a good point, maybe she only had her name on the site....the least I have come across are six names on a Tree.
The person concerned was born in 1960 so I can't really see the point of just putting her own name on the Tree if she was into family history, that's what made me think she had removed the Tree. Again I don't think a novice would think of removing the Tree.
If she had put her ggrandmothers surname on her Tree originally, I and other Bradnum family researchers would have picked it up.
Maybe she just gave up, I know her ggrandmother was registered under one name and called another.
Just trying to find out if there is life after GR

Hi TSU,
Thank you so much for adding to the Thread
I think you have possibly hit the nail on the head ...I wonder if she is on Friends Reunited
I know a few people who thought it was a very simple thing to do after watching the T V programs and then backed off at a rate of knots when they found out the cost of re-searching and time involved 
At least I know she exists .... somewhere
