Ringrose ,see Liz's link to our previous thread,when a group of us not only found info on Diane's grandparents grave as she first requested,but info that her mother had given birth to a son here before leaving for America. I found an address for the half brother and put the 2 of them in touch.
A few of us then met up with them both in Walsall when Diane came over here in April 2014.

I followed that thread with interest when it was running. I hope that Rootschat and the people who found the family do get the credit that they deserve. Do you know how Family Finders picked up that particular story?

Only just caught up with the thread - thanks for posting the link  ;D - WELL DONE ALL, fascinating story and great research as well as coming at it from left field and finding the link that nobody expected.  The photos of the brother and sister (shed a tear at the BIG BROTHER t shirt) were lovely.

Rootschat Rules!  ;D

Does anyone remember the BBC messageboard search (and on here) for 'does anybody know my dad?'.     Marvellous story of dedicated sleuthing, by many many online searchers and one in particular,  to find family of 'dad' who didn't know where he was born, or who his parents were, with very sketchy information.   
Marvellous ending as well.
