It Makes It All Worth The Effort.
« on: Monday 22 October 07 22:18 BST (UK) »
The Email I received just this evening makes all the searching of Census entries,and BMD indexes seem worthwhile.It was from someone I didn't know existed before last week,and she said to me in her message that I am her only living relative on her Mother's side of the Family.Of course unknown to her,she has quite a tribe now of living relatives,that I was more than happy to point out by sending her details of my Webpage!

Christmas has come early for her!  She's going to have fun learning about her "new" relatives.

Tell me about it, I've managed to put my mother in touch with a cousin of hers - they never knew that either side existed because neither parents spoke of that side of the family or didn't get the chance to.
They get on like a house on fire and it's been really great to bring some of those names and dates to life with this person's information!

Congratulations to William and scottcharles!  Indeed, it is a wonderful outcome when you can put family members in touch with each other, when they didn't know of each other's existence!
