Wonderful Marielle, I do hope this opens up a whole new branch for both of you.

Most of you know that I've been trying for years to assemble my WILSON family with the firm knowledge that amongst 14 children born to my great-grandparents, there must be at least a few living relatives floating around. A couple of years ago I finally came across one who lives in South Africa we have happily exchanged information and kept in touch. Yesterday, which would have been my late father's 87th birthday, I sat down at my computer and the first e-mail was from Harry Anthony WILSON from New Zealand and by this morning we have confirmed that we have another link! He is particularly moved and excited as he knows of no other living connections and himself has no siblings. I am so looking forward to puzzling out a great deal more information between the two of us. There have been so many times when I have been contacted by people responding to something I posted up to 10 years ago while trying to help somebody else, so the moral of this story is never give up and try to keep a constant e-mail address for your research!
