Good Evening Dave I am from Victoria Australia. Tony I am not really following you, just seems like it. Vickie

Hi Magi. Where all fine here. Nice day in Melbourne. Thanks Dave. Tony Oz

Quite nice here in Manchester too! Dave

Thats O'K Vickie.lol Dave,Magi. Vickie and i lived 5 min away from each other in Melbourne, but never new each other existed. We are related through our Hull ancestors in Essex ( 5xGreats.) were brothers. Tony Oz

Hi Vickie a big welcome from sunny but not to warm Manchester UK Dave

Thats amazing Tony, mind you I'm convinced if we dig long enough we'll all end up being related somewhere along the line... I discovered that my ex's father was my mom's cousin, and had been adopted as a baby. I think if we'd known before we would never have got together Magi

Hi Magi What is scary with my tree is I just found two of my ex's line marrying into my mum's. (She is not impressed, never got on with the ex in laws) Mum's has married into Dad's too! Will I end up my own cousin or something down the line??..LOL Vickie

Thanks for the welcome Dave Vickie

How true Magi. I think with the Internet now, the world is getting smaller. People are connecting from all over our planet and i think its great. Tony Oz

Hi Vicki, Weird isnt it??? My son says that's why he's perfect.. not that he's big headed or anything .. pmsl... We found photos when mom died and couldn't figure out why she had them, boy were we surprised... explains the resemblance though, as lots of folks have said my sister-in-law and I look alike, and she's the double of her natural gran... magi in Sunny Snowy Istanbul

Hi Vicki I didn' t see you there have an Anzac bikkie mate that's really un believable about Tony I just asked Tony before whether or not you knew each other before being on GR but havnt been back to see if he had time to answer me before the footy started , just found the records of my rellis arrivals in Victoria from Gloucester and from Norfolk in the 1800s so that is good work for today although not all mine as my 2 nd cousin once removed (or something like that ) found his side prompting me to look for other side and lo and behold there they were too also think I found another relli my gggrandfather on my Mums side dont know where he was from but came out paid his own way and was only 16 brave eh makes it all worthwhile when you find some one Lara xx
