I too got a smart matches email from MyHeritage, initially I assumed I had some sort of new DNA match but that wasn't so (and I wasted a lot of time wondering why I couldn't find a DNA match despite clicking the link). Eventually I checked the wording of the email: somebody I've never heard of has "confirmed 4 Smart Matches between his family tree and yours". When I looked at his tree I can see that he does indeed have the four names identified, but looking critically at his tree I think he's not considered whether the locations fit or perhaps the Atlantic Ocean might be in the way and also has amalgamated a couple of generations so that one couple apparently continues to have children long after the wife's death.
Needless to say I've not confirmed the match.
