I would like to know more about it before I ventured to contact them. There are two rival TV shows helping people to trace living family. I have heard that there is quite a waiting list and from what I have seen on the programmes, I have often wondered if some of the people really wanted to be found. It is all made to look like a wonderful dream come true - a tear-jerker - but I would like to know 'what happened after the show'?

I've got a rellie I didn't know about in Oz. Seems he's the World expert on Hairy nosed wombats (I kid you not, just google the surname Horsup)

I am fascinated by this!

We travelled to Oz a couple of years ago and this Easter we went to a wedding in Auckland. One town we visited had a tiny museum with a whole wall dedicated to the names of people who arrived by ship in the 1800's. Every name was there. I said to my OH, Gr would love to see this.

Has anyone responded to the Genes thread on the top of the page?There must be many of us that have lost family in Australia and now found them. Annie
