After getting an Email from a chap called Fred led to my Mum getting in contact with her brother. They have not seen one another for 62 years. They are preparing themselves to meet up again after all those years apart. They only live an hours drive from each other. Once again a big THANK YOU to all of those who helped me in my search for Harry, I'm looking to meeting my Uncle.

Thank you to Sandra the lovely lady who gave me so much information on the Day family,through GR. I thought my mum was an only child but I find that she had brothers and sisters who i turn have families and I have been in touch with two cousins, who I didn't even know I had. I still have not found my mum but I now know a bit about other family members. Thanks

Through the helpfulness of members of GR, I have made contact with a "lost" cousin of 55 years and we met two weeks ago. 4 days later on the morning I was going on holiday, I made contact with another cousin.

Just when you feel like chucking it in as hopeless, there is help out there.

Millions of thanks to wonderful GR members for all the help given

I would like to say thankyou to Meg, Ann of Green Gables,Londonbelle, Julie, Sue.C, and Ginny in their help in the search of my grandparents from the Helm and Kitchin lines of the family.
I have gone back to 1826 to my great, great, great grandparents on my Grandmothers side and am waiting for bdm certificates from the information re the Kitchin family which was posted by Meg.
It has cleared up a lot of confusion for me, and has been of a great help to my sibling and remaining 2nd cousins and Uncle.
I cannot thank you enough.
With huge thanks

This is just to say thank you to everyone who has helped me, some info has been invaluable other bits not the same family . But without help for others most of us would not have progresses as far as we have. i certainly would not have.
So Thanks again and keep up the great work. I very much appreciate all the help I have received
