I am meeting tomorrow a cousin I have never met before, he is well into his 70s now and I am not far behind. He was found through the work I have been doing on my tree and with the fantastic help from members of GR. Kathlyn

How nice. I also have found cousins thro genes altho not able to meet them as yet . I did find a second cousin on my dads side and we found when comparing dates that we born in the same hospital a day apart so the odds are our mums were in the same ward cos it was just a local small maternity hospital. I do hope you have a great time and as a bonus you learn some new family info. Shirley

Hi Betty, Having spoken to his daughter on the phone, I know for a fact I have photo`s of his father, grandparents, aunts and uncles that he has not got. Yes, I am a little nervous, but also it is a reward for the hours that have gone into tracking his side of the family down. Kathlyn
