Through GR I was contacted by a young lady in Australia who it turned out I share a gr gr grandfather (he married twice). She then told me of another 3rd cousin who shares my gr gr grandmother. All three of us have had a lovely year sening info back and forth. All the above was my paternal grandmother's line, our gr grandmothers had been half sisters. Then I took a closer look at her tree, hmm she had similar names toon her other side, look even closer and find we share a set of gr gr gr grandparents down my paternal grandfathers line and down her mother's line haven't worked out all the links yet but there is a definit line, our gr gr grandfather's were brothers even sharing the same occupation! We have several brickwalls but the bricks are coming down one, by one. Happy researching everyone. Bertha
