Wow I really don’t know what to say, I spent most of yesterday in a daze, my mother and adoption father died some 30 years ago and over that period I’ve been trying one way and another to find my routes without success. Then suddenly you’ve done it so quickly.

A huge thank you for all your work and being so generous with your time!

When I contacted you I was expecting that our connection was going to be on my maternal side. I anticipated researching for days, not minutes, in trying to put the connections together from your tree. Thank-you so much for having the foresight to narrow my search area down to such a finite point.
