We are so thrilled and excited to tell you that yes you can find your routes through genes reunited. Less than 3 weeks ago the only information I had to go on was the name and date of birth of my father and his birth area. Thanks to genes reunited and the help of members, some of whom were totally unrelated, I have not only found out who my grandparents were, but spoken to living relatives who have been able to verify without a shadow of doubt that they knew my dad. He was born out of wedlock, so we thought that we had hit a brick wall, when out of the blue came this wonderful young lady who realised that we could be related. She was able to give me the name of my grandfather, and also a deal of other information. My words to anyone looking is never give up, however remote the possibility of finding someone is, you never know who is looking and searching as well as you, and it is a very small world.
