Pleased to hear that Smart Match Deletions is on the menu, any idea when this might become available. The only solution offered so far for the poor matching is to change the settings in FTB. I do not use FTB but upload my tree via a GEDCOM and I cannot adjust the Smart Match settings on the website. With a tree of over 22,000 individuals, I am getting a lot of not-so-smart matches and I cannot tag/delete these.
Here's a screenshot of the places you can click to view matches on a Smart Match email:
If you have trouble with the links in the email, go to your family site and view the matches there. In order to view the matches on your site, click on Family Tree > Smart Matches.
When I click the "learn more" button, it takes me to the smart matches table listing 18,728 matches, but doesn't show the one I click on. When I click on "view all matches from this family tree online" it takes me to the same place. I've never been able to see the smart match that I get in the email, and I've been using this site for about 15 months. I end up just ignoring those emails, because while they look interesting, they don't do me any good. I also have tried going into My Family Tree Builder, and looking for the person who it says has a new smart match, and I don't see any match.
When the smart matches are made you click on the name of the family that the match is from and it should open the family tree with that name in it.
From there you input the name of the individual (on the left hand side of the page) and it will bring that person up and you can check info against your own family tree info.
Smart Matches allow you to search other trees that may have distant or not so distant relatives that you may not have prior knowledge of.
This summer I used it to match my great-great grandfather's family through his wife 's family. Sometimes it will be the completion of a puzzle of where someone fits into a family or tying up loose ends when putting together Family Trees.
Of course you have the option of not using it- your choice and many times they are not matches in your family. My family background is from Sweden and they use the father's name and use it as the son's surname which complicates finding family.
Give it a try and see if you find a new link in your family.
These people are none of my families. They belong to the site I've contacted you about before. You put them onto my site, Callaway Grays 'n Crumps, a long time ago. I have tried repeatedly to get you to take that site away & return my own genealogy research. You haven't done it. Communications from you have shown clearly you do not even read my complaints about losing all my own work.
I have given up trying to get cooperation from you on straightening this problem out, but please, stop sending me their Smart Matches. They are not mine.
I am sorry for the delay in helping you with this problem.
I am shown that you have 4 Family Trees in your Family Site.
You can see them in the Family Tree > Manage Trees page, in your Family Site.
You can also delete the trees you don't want.
3 of these trees were published from your Family Tree Builder, and one is an online tree. If you want to delete a Family Tree Builder tree, remove him from the Family Site,
and then go to Family Tree Builder, and remove the project from there as well. You can do that in the File > Manage Trees menu.
Once you remove the tree, you will not get anymore irrelevant Matches.

when smart matching and there is another person which is not on my tree and I try to add, the program keeps crashing. if I have been working on other merges they are not saved.
also when trying to merge and there are 2 people with the same name (brother/sister) it keeps trying to match with the other person.
ie joe died at birth 1847, next male born named joe possibly the same year or lated it merges with the wrong one, when I put with other person manually it still goes wrong.
when I tried to unmerge so I could correct it still says merged and I change status and it still it goes to the other person.
2nd part of the question has been solved, I had updated the smart matches but when the program crashed it reverted to a saved copy which hadnt been updated.
1st part of question still crashing when trying to merge from my brothers tree, it does the bit about microsoft send error message I tried to copy the details but would not copy.
