Unwelcome Visitor.

My first connection was by telephone, from then on it was correspondence and then meeting, at their request, I was extremely lucky once I proved the connection,  no way would  I turn up on someone's  doorstep

I don't see how this is all that much different from having random religious proselytizers show up at the front gate.  This happens to me about once every six weeks.  I don't know them, I didn't invite them to call on me and I'm uninterested in the product they're pushing.  I don't consider them a threat, just an annoyance.  All in all, I'd rather have someone show up to see if we might be somehow related.

I think the point here is that having made contact online & been told there was no connection - he then went out of his way to research & find out the posters name & address.   Bearing in mind he didn’t even live in the same city  - I find that spooky

Thanks Carole, that is it exactly.

He should not have visited without invitation, I guess he might have been to keen and didn't think, let it rest now, it won't happen again I am sure, never in all my years have I heard of anyone just randomly  knocking on someone door to make a contact.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone

Maybe just looking to see if in fact there was a family resemblance?

Having contacted family members who have info yet are not interested in our family tree and won’t share documentary evidence ,my frustration might have allowed me to be daft and not cautious!
The last daughter to be married from the family home had all the papers and trinkets ,photos etc, as later she had grandad living with her - but will her children share ?

No ,not interested-nothing I can do,but what a pity as they are in a way limiting remembrance .
