God yeah im dead excited!! i dont know what exactly happened but both my parents were married before they met, and then divorced and married each other, i suppose in them days it wasnt a done thing, and the family was never talked about. I lost both my parents before i was 14 so have had no family basically. This means more than anyone will ever know. i know they will all of passed away by now but i had to know names, who they were, who i am. Thanks xxxxxxxxx
