Thank you for the answer. Please specify exactly which match you can not see? We will check the problem. If you do not want to write names on forum please write us email to: support@myheritage.com.
When I use SmartMatches I gbet a list of family trees and information that there are say 85 matches adn (4 to confirm). When I open that tree there are NO matches visible!!!! right now I have 4 pages om Smart Matches witN NO names in the list when I open the tree!!
Why are the trees noit deleted from the kist when I have confirmed/deleted the match?
When I want to be a member of a tree I get the box where I can write a message and it stops there, 2 times of 5 I don't get the box where I shall confirm the password.
Ibland får man ett meddelande att man har fått en Smart Match innan själva Smart Matchen har dykt upp. Ibland kan man även få en match på ett träd som precis har tagits bort.Jag rekommenderar dig att ta en titt på den tomma Smart Matchen om ett par dagar, då kommer det finnas information i matchen.
Thanks for the answer but I guess we are talking about different things.
On my main family tree page I push the Smart Matches in the main menu. That gives me a list of other family trees (10 on each page) where I can find the matches, where i (as an example) can see 37 matches, 24 to confirm (on the right side) and a BLUE button with the text Show Matches (but in Swedish as I have the Swedish language as default). When I push that button, there are NO names/persons that match! The page is empty! On the tabs I can see Still to confrm (24), Confirmed (13), Denied (3).
Now I have 12 pages with Matches that doesn't show any persons and I have had it almost a week now. Sorry to say but that makes it very difficult to compare/update my family tree. Please, is there ANYTHING to do about that?
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think so ! - I'm wasting a lot of time (and a bunch of mouse clicks) with either confirm or mostly rejecting Smart Matches. If you look at the attached picture you can probably guess why I'm frustrated about the Smart Match feature.
How long will it take for a new and better algorithm to be implemented on your website? And a better option of selfdefining my settings and the Smart Match profile ?
At the moment I've got 15.648 Smart Matches that I need to go through and that would cost me a couple of new PC-mouses before I'm finished !!!!!
Please advise me of what to do now - Do I wait for a better algorithm and settings or do I have to live with the way it works for now ?
Please note that there are several aspects that the Smart Matching algorithm takes into account when it is comparing two people in two different trees. The main aspects are: name, last name, date of birth, relatives, etc. This is why in some cases, the system matches two persons that are not the same. For example: two cousins with the same last name and place of birth, a father an a son with same name and last name, etc..
I recommend you to take in count the 'match quality' percentage which will indicate you if it is an exact match or if it is not exact.
Please note that we are currently working on a new and improved version of Smart Matching, that will allow better control over the info displayed.
You can also ignore trees for which the matches suggested are not relevant enough.

Even though the persentage is low there should be something that block matches like this...
The only thing I can find that are the same are some empty fields. Well both have no birth date and no birth/death place, both are dead. This gives 7%. Shouldn't different gender at least say that it is not a match? It is strange that we dont get milions of matches when this goes thru.
I hope the new version of smartmatch have tighter check of birth/death date than now. I have people born in the 1400th century which are matched with now living people.
How long does it take for an EDITED upload to show in SmartMatching? That means, I have edited my family tree on my computer and reuploaded the modified file it to the web. How long does it take for my new/edited persons to show up correctly in SmartMatching?
You should be receiving Smart Matches within 2-3 days (I have now made a change in the database which should speed things up), if you do not publish a new version of your tree to the site during that time.
Hi I get smart matches where my person1 is matched with other person2 and my person2 is matched with other person1.
Another question is it possabile to filter the smart matches criteria so I can select all smart matches or confirmed matches , rejected matches or matches awaiting to have something done.
First of all I would like to get the opportunity to say Thank you for taking the time to answer other users' questions and concerns. This is highly appreciated.

I have problems with this and the question is what do I do about it?
I have a Smart Match at the moment where the main person matches in every respect.
And in fact so do the details of all the individuals; and she has about twelve kids and ten siblings.
But two of her sons each have John in their name and the computer insists that Henry John (in the Smart Match sent to me) should match with John Francis in my tree. And vice versa to account for all the children, and of course that is wrong too.
I have rejected the entire match because (I guess, this is a bit of a mystery to me) these two will become linked/ merged together/ something like that in my tree. And because if others see that I have confirmed the match they will think everything in it is correct and they will rely on it when completing their own family history.
Should I have rejected the entire Smart Match? And does that mean that I have to check all the detail in a match before I confirm it?
Okay, (in Family Tree Builder) I reviewed all the old (mostly previously confirmed by me!) and new Smart Matches for three Main Persons (each with their own entry and ID number in the List.)
They are all siblings in a family of ten children. The family includes (actual given names, in my original letter I used made up examples):
Stephen John, and John "Joseph"; William (who died in infancy), and William (who lived to old age); Sarah, who died in infancy, and Sarah "Sis" (who lived to old age).
And six others of no special interest here.
The Quality of Match percentage was good to high (mostly 73% upwards) and the Explanation box (link next to the percentage) usually showed "Brothers and Sisters, 10 Matching". Probably I believed that when I compared and confirmed the first matches. But on reviewing fifty or more individual Smart Matches, person by person for the ten siblings, I rejected all but a handful of the Smart Matches because one or more of the individuals did not match those selected on my tree.
Common mismatches were Stephen John matched with John "Joseph", young Sarah matched with old Sarah "Sis", and young William matched with old William; or vice versa.
In several classic mismatches young William (say) in the Smart Match might have been matched with BOTH young William and Old William on my tree; or the same with the Sarahs. I wouldn't have thought that could happen!
It's been onerous but interesting.

I did an upgrade recently to 6.0.0.5634 and used the recommended default settings for most stuff. However, I have what seems to be a different pattern of performance. When I'm in Tree View and looking at some people and notice the SmartMatch indicator.
My problem is that when I click on it, the match is often to my own online tree. I don't think it showed up that way before, even though I had a lot of SmartMatches to other web trees before. It's frustrating to see a match and hope someone has listed a family member that links to me, only to click it and find its only my own tree.
