I got into Genes Reunited sort of by mistake. I was trawling the internet for the 1901 census. Once I found myself in Genes Reunited, curiosity got the better of me. I typed in the names and birth dates for all my known great grandparents, and within a couple of hours a living relative got in touch with a mine of information, thus adding another couple of layers onto one branch of my family tree. Now, less than 24 hours later, a second living relative from another branch of the family has been in touch. However, be warned....I got very little else done yesterday (Sunday) ! Mary
