Yep, second cousin once removed.

I was randomly googling for info on my grandma, and stumbled upon a post he'd made.

He's helped me out immensely with the research and I've repayed him with photographs and random family gossip and info!

Have found lots of other possible, very distant relatives, but haven't made contact.

 :)

My ears were burning ;D

Ha ha ha! Took a while though! Actually I have more random family goss for you but I'll pm ya  ;)

Yes, over a year ago a 2nd I think cousin, we help each other and e-mail 3/4 times a week. What is spooky is although i am much older we think the same on daily issues, and definitely share many family traits.

Without rootschat I would not have found her :)

Yes, I have found a 4th cousin (Cancan) and a 4th cousin once removed (Holtfamilytree) both as a direct result of Rootschat.

I have met Cancan but not Holtfamilytree as yet.  We are regularly in touch, share research and help each out.

 :D

Luzzu,
By chance I found your post about Adelaide Dillon from Malta when I googled the Dillon family from Malta. I believe she is my great great grandmother. Her daughter Angelina married my great grandfather Frederick Wimbury. She was born in Canada in about 1870 and was living in Gorton in 1891 RG12/3171?104 P6 and in 1901 RG13?3685/27 P45.

You have given me lots of information already which is wonderful and I wonder if you have all your information about them in one place please? Please could you tell me how to look for the Canadian details as I don't know where in Canada Angelina was born. How on earth did you find out so much? Thanks for the information as I've just started my family research.

I joined this site and it looks great! Most of my parents relatives are from Lancashire - Manchester and Bolton area.

Are you related to the Dillon family? Are we related?

Hi Grundy51,

 :D :D ;D ;D :D :D

Welcome to Rootschat.  I am in shock.  You could be the breakthrough I have been looking for.  First of all we are not related but why I am researching the Dillons is a long, long story.  You need to make a couple more posts on Rootschat and then you can send and receive PM's - personal messages.  I haven't come across Angelina before - is she Mary Ann?

The main question I want to ask is do you know where Adelaide was born and when and where did she marry Henry Dillon.

Hi again Grundy51,

Forgot to mention that posts of "The Lighter Side" board don't count so you need to make some posts on maybe the Lancashire board.  I think you need three to be able to send and receive personal messages.

Yes, I've met a couple here and had great help finding even more.

Rootschat has linked relatives and been the genesis of several romances and marriages.

This is THE best genealogy website!
