Hi Wenders

What is the cost of your membership compared to what you found yesterday?

I keep my main tree on another site that links to Ancestry but always renew my subs on here. One day I may have a genuine hot match and although I come and go I can have months without coming into GR and then a few months when I feel like im never away.

Also when the winter draws in and its too cold to go out, some of the people on here can make you laugh so much with their antics its a small price to pay.

Hi Barb hope your well

well yes Christmas, easter and all my birthdays came at once, its a lovely feeling, and to actually talk to a living relative you thought was dead is even more thrilling

Thanks

Morning Wendy

Sun's shining here but I bet not half as bright as it is for you at the moment, Christmas just came 4 months early in your house didn't it.

Congratulations on finding new family, it's so exciting isn't it. Please renew your subs here, I for one want to hear all about your finds

Good Morning everyone

up early to get a good start on the rest of the family

but I have a dilemma

My GR membership is up in two days, i wasnt going to renew it, BUT, will i need to use GR for information i cant find on ancestry, or indeed to ask for advice on here, umm will have to think hard on that one

any way

hope you all enjoy your day today and that the sun shines for you

Wendy!!!!!

So chuffed that you have made contact with a rellie.!

I have contacted distant rellies before. It is amasing when you piece together your family ties. Makes the hairs on my arms stand up, when a distant rellie, can tell me a link, that I have not posted.

I found a living relative I did not know I even had, on here. Our Gt. Grandfathers were brothers, so I'm not sure how many times cousins we are. At first we e-mailed each other for a while, but have now spoken on the phone on a Sunday morning for about eighteen months. She is way up north, whilst I am in the Midlands, so don't know when we will get to meet. It nearly happened on Boxing Day when she was passing through here on the way back from Cambridgeshire, but I was rushed into hospital. Who knows, maybe one day.
Good luck Wenders
