One other thing I would add to the mix, if you have any photos of family members he may remember send one or 2 copies with your letter.

And do not get over enthusiastic in your letter, keep calm do not let your thoughts run away with you.

GOOD LUCK

This happened to me last year ...I found a long lost uncle in the phone book and called him. He was 72 years old and was delighted to hear from me. He said he tried to find me  over 30 years ago but did not know I had moved to America.  The years melted away and we talked for ever. I booked a flight to go see him in the summer but unfortunately he was diagnosed with cancer and died within  6 weeks. I was gutted that I had left it so long to look for him but I shall always remember his laugh.
Oh yes I still went to England and met up with his children, my cousins. One even came over to my sons wedding this year.
So don't leave it too long which ever way you reconnect with him

Oh, definitely get in touch at once. If it doesn't work out how you hope it will then at least you will have tried.

I found a lost second cousin and a third cousin and I am really thrilled. They have been so friendly and truly interested in all the family history.

Give it a go.

Hi Guys and Gals,

I worte to the person I thought was my grandads cousin but it turned out to be a lady I have spoken to before. She just happened to share the same initials as the guy I am looking for and lives in his birth town.

She wrote back but doesn't know the Mr Brant im looking for. So he is either living somewhere else or could have died? if he is alive he would be 71 now. I just dont know where to start my search for (*)

The lady who is something like a cousin twice removed gave me some good information but she doesnt know my line of Brants. (*)

Anyway thanks for all the interest and sorry it was the outcome you or I was looking for....bit gutted really.

Regards,

Tyrone
