John McCarthy's success story

I was contacted by my cousin who had been contacted by a lady asking if she was related to my father. I never thought no more about it but what I did do was put my mother's, father's, my brothers and my own name on the site to start my own family tree and left it there. Less than 24 hours later I received an e-mail from someone in Australia asking if their Great Grandfather was related to my father. After a series of questions and e-mails I now have family in Australia which I never knew about. And the first lady to contact me was also related. A truly wonderful site! John
