No- it was me doing something wrong! The 1236947 is the page number. Must have been having a brain storm. Sorry about that. |

I thought that too SatNav but assumed it was me doing something wrong. However, the person I was talking about in the original post has a membership number of 11million something so he is obviously a new member from what you say. |

As a rule of thumb, the higher the number, the more recent the membership |

Go for it. I am in now touch with numerous 2nd cousins in Canada, and got loads of photos and old letters from them. We plan a big get-together there next summer. We even found my husband's half-sister just by me sending a general query!! What's the worst that can happen? |

Well, of course you should contact him. I've contacted loads of people, got a great deal of fun out of it, a lot of information, and been able to give a lot of information in return. I've gained about 30 rellies through here with whom I'm in regular contact now, they're on the Christmas Card list (groan!), and have visited some of them, and they me. |

By an amazing coincidence I was working on a rellie last night and found that he had entered his details on his tree on GR just five nights ago. I would imagine he is a new member but, firstly, what membership numbers are new? and, secondly, should I contact him? He isn't a close rellie - a second cousin once removed. Would you think it would be a bit of a shock to him? |
