I put the same moan accross on the tips board. replying to the next time you update g.c letter. however i contacted someone regarding a name what matched my grandfathers, only to find in my contacts box, that the person in question had a different middle name. later that day i recieved an email from a cousin i never knew existed. it turns out that it was his fathers name , who shared his first name with my grandfather, who in turn was his fathers uncle. (our grandfathers were brothers )(am i confusing you?) result ive now found a friend in my new found cousin, and will meet him next week. elaine x

Please could the second names be on the lists for contacts it is most frustrating to send a contact only to find when it comes up on your contact sheet that you have wasted time because the second name is differant. It also means when we get contacts ,and we all get excited by a conatct, we are dissapointed and it could all be im,proved just by the addition of second names thank you in hopes sandra
