Maureen Carpenter's success story

Pleased to say I have found one of my first cousins through genes. We had not been in touch with each other for more than 30 years. Last time we were in touch, she was living in Hertfordshire, and I was living in North london. Her son (who I knew nothing about) was on genes , so I sent a message, well an answer came back, and after a couple of more emails were exchanged, he sent me his mums phone number.What a shock ii had when I recognised the area telephone code as being about 3 miles of where I am now living. Yes we discovered each other were both enjoying our retirements living in Cornwall. That was in february, and since have seen one another on a reguala basis.And on top of that are now in touch with other family members.
