I have been a member of Genes Reunited for a few months and have had a number of successes in tracing various lines of my family tree.My main result however came recently, out of the blue when I was contacted by a third cousin once removed who furnished me with details of a gr.gr.gr.grandfather who was born in 1792.Not only was I given a fascinating history of my ancestor but unbelievably I was provided with a photograph of him!.(It helped that he lived to be 90 years old).I will certainly be renewing my membership when the time comes.Happy hunting everyone,John
