Four days after joining and first contacting a 'possible', it was confirmed we had a definate match with their father who originally went to Au in 1924. This gave me 6 living 2C; with children/grandchildren, 50 'new' relatives. Since then, I've found well over 20 others, including a half-1C, and a full 1C, though mostly 2C to 3C - all in Scotland and England, excepting the Australians. Can't praise this site enough from my own experiences. I figure I got more than my money's worth within the first 4 days! Toni ~ Ontario
