Many thanks to GR for helping me find my natural family. I was adopted in 1953 and consequently had a change of name. When my adopted mother died I wanted to trace my natural family as well as my adopted side. I logged on to GR a few days ago and discovered my natural name with people looking for me. To cut a long story short I discovered 2 cousins of my natural mother who were trying to find me under my birth name (who is unfortunately deceased )and also that I have over 200 relations either dead or alive from my natural side. Many thanks to GR. I am now in contact with one of my mothers cousins and hopefully will meet within the next year as we live at opposite ends of the UK
