Hi,
I have been helping my mum search for her birth family for around 10 years now! we have had quite a lot of help from people on this site over the past 4 years or so and so I thought that I would let you know that we have managed to contact a distant birth relative of hers who is still in touch with some of my mums birth cousins and also an aunt. we are now waiting to see if they are prepared to have contact with us now they have been told about this bit of the family they never knew of!!

I will let you know what happens!!

Well done Julia.
I hope all goes well for you all.
Enjoy it and it will be lovely for your mum to have this feeling of belonging, which perhaps she has been missing in her life?
Good luck,
Deanna X
