Yes. I met 5 cousins I had not seen since 1954. We have now had a reunion and are pooling our resorces on our Family Tree search. I have been given numerous photos and information about my family, especially my Dad who died when I was 9 in 1954.

been on this site around a year now, never thought it might happen as my family are well distributed around the world, but thanks to the "one name" board, now correspond to a cousin I never knew I had in the channel islands, and we hope to meet later in 2011, it's all down to the wonderful community that thrives here, bit like a family in itself.

Yes.  Met up with second cousin of my mother in-laws. Shared information one afternoon.

Also had relations on the father in-laws side come over from England October 2009, and found out there where more family living here in New Zealand on his grandfathers side who moved to New Zealand a number of years ago from Yorkshire, so we are off to visit them in a couple of weeks.

Very handy little site to find long lost relations, just wish I could find more on my mother's side.
