I have this ladies telephone number. She is my dad's cousin's ex wife! I am hoping she might be able to put me in touch with her daughter, and possibly some more family info. I wrote to her on the 28th Jan. Not heard back. Shall I ring???

Yep, ring. She might have forgotten, been too busy, still trying to find information, or may not even have got it. Either way, you have nothing at all to lose by calling and a lot to potentially gain. Do it :)

Chloe The worst that she can do is say no. But if you don't ring you'll never know. Perhaps she just leads a busy life and hasn't got round to writing. Have an idea what you are going to say, then take a deep breath and pick up the phone without thinking anymore. Oh, and don't forget to smile when you speak. It will help to calm you and also hopefully win her over. Chrissie x
