I want to say a HUGE thank you to Genes Reunited! Just a few days ago, I decided to try G.R. (on reccomendation from a friend), and put together my family tree.
Within a couple of days I received an email saying a possible link had been found with my cousin. I sent a message and within half an hour received a reply from him-he is my cousin! Not only have I found him, but also his parents (my Aunt & Uncle)! We are now catching up and are going to remain in contact!
This has been a huge shock, but I am really happy to have found him!
Thank you so much!
