Hi,

I believe that I have been in contact with a trolling member. Her messages do not make sense. She claims a link, but I cannot corroborate this link and, also, there are inconsistancies in her messages. The member is: virginiamariazammithaymond1

Regards

Richard

    @RichardVincentGregory As a World Tree open-edit format FamilySearch Tree users can bump into each other quite frequently - hopefully connecting in collaborative helpful ways. Generally we could let small inconveniences slide and just delete the message if you do not want to respond. Every once in a while - perhaps more often these days - I need to remind myself of the words of this hymn. If the user becomes abusive in her messages I would probably recommend Contact Support:

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/contact-familysearch-support

    It appears some older Feedback options have changed - so this is what I recommend at this time. You would probably need to choose the option for Tree Support. There doesn't seem to be a way of looking up the user for abusive behavior on my end - so hopefully that referral will help you!

    She isn't abusive, but I can't, for the life of me, work out her motive. She says that her friend is related to me but that they were fostered. She then said that she feels part of the family because she was fostered. She then said how kind it was of my family to foster her and her friend. Firstly, her friend is still alive and I can find no record of her in my tree. Non of my older relatives know of her. Secondly, she was supposedly fostered by another family, yet this lady says my family took them in. The name of the foster family is not a name linked to my family. It's all very strange. Now she won't answer my questions with a coherant paragraph! Oh well, it takes all sorts, I suppose.
