Keep at it. Maybe you will luck out like I have through the Internet. I have been put in touch with the help of third parties with two cousins I never knew existed. Now there are four cousins (three of us are first cousins and have known each other since childhood) on my mother's side happily Emailing each other back and forth and not only about genealogy. The other Internet found cousin is from my father's side and we have exchanged information and will continue to do so. The cousin on my mother's side even sent me a copy of a letter My gggrandfather wrote my gggrandmother during the Civil War. T. Gorman rockall@aol.com
