I joined Genes about 8 months ago and through my shared messages I discovered a cousing I never knew existed and instead of locating him living on the other side of the globe here he was an hour's drive from me in Queensland Austtalia. Since then we have
met several times and revived many old memories of family members who are well known to each of us.

I have also found the Community / Records facility excellent my only problem being that as a stroke victim my self confidence is non existent and this prevents my exploration of the amenities in Genes for fear I might break the rules.
Thanks to Genes.
regards,
Bill ( William)
