I've had my maternal Grandmother on this site for at least 4 yrs., and NEVER had any matches. Not a single one. Today I discovered that I had her name spelled incorrectly. I've corrected the misspelling - within seconds there are over a thousand people on this site with the same surname. Of course, none of them may be related to me but it's a start. M. Steer

I'm pleased things have started to look up for you. It's amazing what 1 spelling mistake can do. Even worse when the site you are searching has made the spelling mistake and you are trying to guess how it is spelt. Lets hope you can find other members on here that share your family. Jen
