	Wow, well done Carol! I have made contact with a few cousins myself, but our common ancestor is my great-grandfather, so that's only 150 years ago. It is a great feeling though, isn't it? Carole

	So pleased for you. There is something special about finding others who share our ancestry. Probably just as well we can't contact all our 10th cousins etc though - just think of the christmas card bill :-) Judith
