Cousins Reunited

Shirley Report 7 Nov 2008 20:21

My mother is from a family of 18 children - the 18th was adopted after my grandmother died giving birth. Although the brothers and sisters saw each other from time to time the cousins had little or no contact. That is until the son of the adopted child found a connection with my tree and emailed me asking for confirmation of my grandmother's name. This was established and today five cousins met for the first time ever for some and almost 60 years for others.
It was such a lovely reunion and we shall all be meeting up again.
