I had all but given up finding any more links to my tree, and for some reason I decided to carry on again.
Me and mum had gone through some old photos, and there was a name on one of the photos.
After checking back through my messages on here, an email that I had previously disregarded as I didnt know the names, suddenly made sense. The email had been written by a person in one of the photos!!!!!!!!

I am now in touch with my great grandads brothers daughter and my great grandmothers sisters daughter. Wonderful!! And on a line I had all but given up with!!

Make sure you thoroughly check any names in emails, as even though at first glance they dont make sense or dont fit, they will!!!!
