Hello Cousins of the World! I feel that we are all related in some way as we have one common theme -to find our past. I have only been doing this for about 3 months and in that time I have found out my wife's great grandmothers first name and all her brothers and sisters just 15 of them and her grandmother - all from Penarth, South Glamorgan, along with her grandmothers brothers and sisters just 14 thanks to CHERYL VINNARD another GR member, who is my wife's half-blood 3rd cousin. We hope to meet up soon. Also only this week have been in contact with another GR member who has given me my wife's grandfathers side of the family - who lived Weston-super-Mare another large family and am the first member of his mothers family he or his mother has ever been in contact with - they are both gobsmacked , as well as us. Its really is a marvellous adventure and so very addictive! Good luck to one and all and dont give up hope, my wife Tina and I only had one name to go on with both sides and now we have loads - over 120 names and 37 surnames - wow mind blowing and it does not end there we have another two surnames to research yet, yet alone all the twigs of the tree! Thanks to everyone who has contributed - that also includes the Hot Matches that did not match as we can discount those as well, so they are just as important. Tony & Tina
