How can I ignore Smart Matches coming from a specific tree?

There are cases when you might want to stop receiving Smart Matches from specific family trees:


​

- If a webmaster has duplicate trees, you might receive duplicate matches for each of his/her trees. To prevent this, you can choose to ignore some trees you get matches from. This can reduce the number of matches you get.


​

- If you are not interested in receiving matches from a specific webmaster, you can choose to ignore it.


​

If you don't want to receive matches from a source tree any longer, this is how to proceed:


​

1. Log in to your family site.


​

2. Move your mouse cursor over the ‘Discoveries’ tab and select ‘Matches by source’:
​​​​​​​​​​​​


​

You will be able to see all the matches found from a specific source in your family tree.


​

3. Click on the ‘Smart Matches’ tab to filter the list by Smart Matches only.
​
4. Click on ‘Review X matches’ to see the list of all the matches found from this specific source.
​​​​​​​​​​​​


​


​

5. To ignore this source tree completely, click on 'More actions' on the upper right-hand side of the list and choose 'Ignore this tree'.


​

This will reject all the matches from the specific source you selected and the system will remember not to send you matching from this source tree.
