Linda Jackson's success story

Linda Report 23 Feb 2006 22:03

My Message is - Dont ever give up. I have been researching my very difficult and elusive family for nearly 3 yrs, after leaving many messages, building and maintaining the tree on GR, to no avail, whereby despair and frustration set in. Then in 2004 a breakthrough, through GR, I was found by a significant relative, and together we have worked hard to continue to research and build the tree, Then in 2006 our second breakthrough I was found by another significant relative. Who has been able to define and confirm a family tale, bringing it to reality, we do a have a famous descendant whoopee!!. Both these relatives have spent up to 5 yrs looking for that breakthrough, they found me on GR, I spent 3 yrs looking for them. Wonderful, I am now forging hopefully a long lasting relationship with my new cousines, furthermore I am meeting one of then in 1 weeks time, This is a success story, long may it continue and grow. Dont ever give up, regardless - good luck Linda
