After doing extensive research on my mothers side of the family i had covered as far as i knew- but a 70 something gent from Scotland has just mailed me with a close family connection from the early part of the last century..........never expected ever to get anywhere with this part of the family........its a definite match.......and maybe in 10 years time the knowledge or details that I'll find would have remained a mystery..........stunned .
