Wendy Newlands' success story

45 years ago I lost contact with my cousin when she emigrated to Australia with her mum- we were both 12. I had tried all sorts to locate her, even the Salvation Army was unable to help after months of waiting. Within 10 days of my joining genes reunited I had a reply from my cousins son and hence my cousin! It was goosepimply, watery eyes, exciting and spooky all at the same time. All due to your someone on tv talking about their success in tracing a relative via your site!
