I clicked onto this site to find out about my partners scottish link,after realising I could trace my late fathers families in London I became hooked ,I tapped in various combo's of my dad's name and found a trying to find John Albert ,which happens to be my brothers name,I then found 2 names trying to find John,the names were familiar,I had to find out if it was who I thought it was!!!It turned out they were my brothers daughters in Australia,they havn't seen their dad in 34 yrs you can imagine their shock when I contacted them.The ironic thing is ,that on that very same day my niece sent her message 17/1/06 ,my brother,mom and myself were looking at an old paper cutting from a local paper dated 1972on it was my brother,his then wife and 2 daughters with a story about them emmigrating to Australia,my mom kept it as a memory for John,unfortunately John and his wife split up ,hence loosing contact with his girls,we have now exchanged pictures and messages the last 2 weeks have been wonderful thanks to your site,my brother has pictures of his now grown up girls and can't beleive how fantastic it is to be together again,many thanks Margaret-Caroline |
