I also know why my father and my uncle fell out. My cousin hasn't asked but he may do when my lovely uncle passes away - he is 93 y.o. I'll decide then whether the story needs to be told as it isn't a pleasant one.

That decision is yours. You could say you don't know - but not if your cousin reads your post lol, If you decide to delete I will too lol

And that's what makes it all worthwhile :-D

Lovely feeling isn't it, so happy for you :-)

I recently made contact with a second cousin in Australia and we have exchanged photos. Its so good so see family likenesses

It has even transpired that at one point I worked with and knew his sister, completely unaware that we were related. small world isn't it

Only problem being the oldest cousin I remember why my dad and his brother fell out, don't think cousins know so don't want to tell.

Hope you get to meet soon :-D

Thanks Lyndi, I have been emotional all day seeing photo's of aunt and uncle and my two cousins, plus have been researching their other grandparents line.

My second cousin just joined Ancestry and in 1 day found me. We are now friends on Facebook and have been exchanging photo's just seen her mum and dad (my aunt and uncle) who I loved but have not been been in contact with for 50 yrs. (sadly all passed away) She has traced her family on her mothers side, but I will be able to take her back to Edward lll and beyond on her grandfathers side. She only lives about 10 miles away so hopefully we can meet up.

Carol :-D :-D
