Shirley Report 1 Nov 2005 21:23

hello, just thought I would tell you about my success. My mum and her sister were given up for adoption in 1934, my mum was 18 months and her sister 4. Through GR and with the help of several long lost cousins we were able to reunite them in August of this year, mum was in yorkshire, her sister in scotland, and we traced each other through someone in Oz!! my mum is now 73 and her sister 75, they have met twice and had a great time. I also got lots of info about two other sisters, who have passed away,and talk to their children via email, plus info on mums real mum and dad.
