Thank You GR for helping me connect with my father's brother's 4 children. Both men were given away at birth and never knew of each other's existence. Apart from my father's mother's name on his birth certificate, obtained after his death, my only information was by word of mouth. So only the internet could have helped us find each other.
It has been a wonderful gift to find cousins with whom I have so much in common at the age of 60, and has been deeply stirring and helpful to find out about my father'e origins.
