I started this with the idea of finding all my living relations so that my Grandchildren would know all those on earth that they are related to. A noble task you might think. So far I have found virtually all of my wife's mother's history in one fell swoop, with a contact on GR. I have also found two lost families of my grandfather's brother's in the US and am now in communication with them to find out more. There are still more to find but, please God, these will also turn up soon with the help of GR. So far my tree is almost 500 names and probably another significant number yet to be found and added. I could npt have managed even the database without GR. Thank you very much!
