Anne, I also recently had this situation although the lady in question was my great aunt. Calculating her age to be in her 80's I didn't want to shock her by phoning out of the blue so I wrote to her giving basic family info so that she could work out if there was a link or not and also trying to reassure her that I was who I claimed to be. |

thanks carol, i was so excited but unsure as to how they might take it or even if it is not her. I will put pen to paper in the morning. this is all so frustrating isn't it. |
