I recently put a message up about me contacting a member of my family whom i had just found out the address for. I pushed a letter though her letter box later that night after you lot persuaded me to. Well today i got a phone call from her and she really wants to meet me, she is even going to sort though her old photo's for me to see. I am so excited i've told everybody that i've spoken to today.

Really Happy for you,if you have got a small tape recorder take it with you and let her know that you want her to tell you everything she knows and that you are recording the conversation so you don't forget anything. Keep us all up to date with how it goes. Sue
