Where did you first find a rellie on the Web?

[TaffyBlue]

So far, I have found a first cousin and a great-uncle through GR, as well as several distant rellies.

Ancestry message boards have recently found me a couple more.

But that's it so far.  No luck yet on finding anyone through RC, but there's time and a couple of distant possibles.

found 2 definite new rellies and there families on GR, and we are still in contact ,
it seems well worth the small fee.

i have also gained information through the Suffolk Surnames website,
and since coming on here i have found out more infromation about people already on my tree 

soooooo
in conclusion
 
both sites have there uses

for all you spelling buffs out there

i should have used 'their'

but sometimes when your typing away the spellings go flying out of the window

Found my sister and my cousin on GR. Mind you I already knew them.  Just didn't know they'd joined GR as well.

Hi Springbok
Wouldn't mind but it cost me £7.50 to find out

I found my second cousin in Canada through Netscape which led me to Canadisn phone books.  I left a message on an answering machine and within 12 hours I had a phone call.

Since I joined RootsChat I have found another member's grandparents grave and have even visited it.  We intend to meet in September when she comes to Ireland to visit the grave.

Goodonya, Mary!  This is the kind of thing Rootschatters really excel at - finding things in their local area for other R'chatters who live far away!  It's a wonderful gift that you make in this way!
