Lyall rang from New Zealand this morning to wish us Merry Christmas. While we were talking, he mentioned that there was someone on Genesreunited who had listed my greatgrandmother with the correct location and dates. I contacted them this morning and have had an email back and access to her tree. She is my second cousin on a branch of the family that everyone had lost contact with.

So at the moment I’m all of a twitter having just added several new members of the family.

All in all a great Christmas present.
