I have a couple of first cousins who have trees on here.... but after the initial contact we haven't really kept in touch, and I don't think they use the boards at all... I don't even have access to the one's tree... but I pointed out a discrepancy in her tree... her mum did it all the old fashioned way, she died before the internet took off and broadband kicked in... but she was following the wrong George... the George she followed actually died in infancy, so all the ancestors on that branch (which was my cousin's father's and my mum's paternal grandfather's line) are wrong! Took me ages to work out why there were so many discrepancies.

But I don't think it went down well with my cousin that her mum's research was wrong on that line.

I have had much more contact with my grandparent's cousins and siblings' grandchildren, lolol... too early for me to work out the relationship, second cousins, I think! But I have had loads of contact with at least 6 on all branches, great fun.

Love

Daff xxxx

Nobody that I know of. I think anyone that tried with my Family Tree probably gave up after having a mental breakdown over the difficulties! :-)

Lynda has said once or twice that she'd adopt me though.lol

I "found" my brother/half brother through hot matches. When I say "found", that'sa bit of a stretch, as I didn't know he existed, so certainly didn't know he was "lost".

He's my mother's son (and possibly my father's son too - we'll never know) and was adopted at birth, and he put up a "family tree" with only his name and my (and of course his) mum's in the hope of finding a match..... which he did - me!

My mother's father's mother's brother's daughter's daughter's husband.
Or you could say: my grandfather's cousin's daughter's son-in-law.
My great-great-grandparents' great-great-granddaughter's husband.

Hey, that's easy:
