I was checking through my email - and although most of it is crap from facebook, one from Genes Reunited caught my eye. It had the following in it:

Did ****** (my grandfather - I've taken his name out...) fight and die for his country?

We have found clues to your ancestor ****** in World War Two death records by matching people in your tree to official records.

It's likely to be an emotional journey as you start uncovering how your ancestor met his fate during this truly global conflict. Click the name below to find out more.

Name ******

Perhaps you'll discover ***** fought the enemy from the trenches or flew a Spitfire through dangerous skies...


But..... My grandfather is alive and well - and has been for the last 85+ years.... I know he trained to be a pilot in the RAF towards the end of the war, but he was never in combat, and he most certainly didn't die.

It just seems a bit of a crass email to send out - or am I being over sensitive to it?

It's spam - why are you even giving it a moment's thought?

Ah but its not. I signed up to Genes Reunited *ages* ago - I started to put the info I had on it. So its directed mail rather than spam.

Well then they got it wrong, which suggests their service is crap and deserves to be treated like spam....
