Why not write to them asking if they had a good Easter and say that it has given you time to have a look at your family tree.It may be that they are genuinely busy and they too may have meant to write but kept putting it off. If you keep the communication general and open the way to a reply, that may be all it takes. |

I think Janet has the best idea - I'm sure they were excited at the time, but they have lives to get on with, problems to deal with and a relative "stranger" is probably not on the list of priorities. A chatty reminder might be just what they need. |

How disappointing, Misty! I recall how excited you were when you made contact. To think that these people have photos of your gt. grandmother, you must be desperate to see them. I know I would be. |
