Just had to tell someone!

Nanny Jan,

Fingers crossed for you - hope the info is useful and fills in a few gaps for you! Good Luck!

I'm still waiting for him to reply to my message but even one extra bit of info will be very welcome.

My 83 year old dad is even more excited than I am!   Just a pity mum isn't alive to share in it with us; it's one of her many cousins.

That one extra bit is often some of the best you receive as you can then go from there yourself

A tentative enquiry by a fellow researcher led me to 18 first cousins I never knew I had.
 So  I literally jumped for joy when I got that e mail.

I bet you did and it must have been exciting!  Do you keep in contact?

Hi,
I am a bit like wheeldon.  Everytime I saw the name and town I am interested in, I would write away - and it gets that you forget who you have written to or not.
I went to great lengths to try to get information and feel that I may have been 'a little over the top' as well, though it is becoming so frustrating that I feel I need to stop - and then something good may happen to me.

That's great nanny jan.  I have met some wonderful friends and rellies on Genesconnected, and I can't imagine my life without them now.  Only recently I had an email from a lady who gave me some information on my great great aunt, right down to her grave number, and I was over the moon, and so grateful.

love
Su

Just heard back from my contact! They have only just got going on their research so they have not got any info for me but they have sent a wonderful selection of photos.

Even if I have not found the birth or marriage details I certainly know what some of them look like!  Luckily my dad has been able to put names to some of the people in the group wedding shots.

It's been a great day for old photos!
