After some months of inactivity on my part I received an email which has totally made by day.
The last time I saw my Cousin and his Wife Linda was in 1991 at my Mum and Dad's Golden Wedding Anniversary party. Bob then moved and we completely lost touch.
Some time ago I posted a message asking if anyone knew of his whereabouts but to no avail. To be honest I had forgotten about the request until today.
He has now decided to start a family tree, through Genes Reunited, and saw my message. It is a miracle that he recognised me as I have changed my surname since I last say him.
We have spoken on the phone today and are planning to meet up this year.
Thanks Genes Reunited, I could not have done it without you.
