Hi again I was recently sent an email by a company called, "Traceit", which claims that it is confident that it can trace my family back to at least the 14th and 15th centuries, through the records which are in their [the company's] possession ! I think that this is highly unlikely. However, should I pay to satisfy my curiosity and almost certainly be disappointed or should I resist this impulse?

Do not fall for natural temptation and curiosity. Spammers depend on us poor mutts replying to such messages. It is part of becoming web savvy learning not to succumb to such blandishments. Consign them immediately to your 'junk' file. Pay and you will regret, (I am 99.5 per cent certain - do you wish to risk the 0.5 per cent chance?). Yours Aye Andrew Sellon
