Not on commission, honest! I joined genesreunited a couple of years ago and found 2 cousins I didn't know about. Met one for the first time in December 2004 and caught up on over 50 years, e-mailing the other regularly and hoping to meet one day. I've also found a 'cousin several times removed' - my great-grandfather's sister's great-grand-daughter. Just come across the sister of a childhood friend who I haven't seen for about 40 years. I haven't used their 1901 as I'm subscribed to Ancestry but so far am pleased I paid my £7.50! If anyone has seen likely matches on genesreunited, I'm happy to make contact for you. Happy Mother's Day all - just having a glass of Cava to celebrate, it's my eldest son's 22nd birthday today and we're having an Indian takeaway to save washing up! Sandra
I got started on genes reunited a couple of months ago. I have not only found some new cousins but have traced a previously unknown branch of my family back to the 16th century !! Not bad I would say.
