Years back, someone from Genes (he doesn't post on the boards) contacted me about my dad's stepdad - who had an unusual surname. I quite happily told him all I knew, but none of his family were on my tree. In fact my tree on here was/is only my mum's side. |

I found someone with lots of my family details on their tree, altho they had some names spelled incorrectly and such. I asked them what connection they had to my parents and it turns out they are related to a woman who is married to a late cousin of mine's son. It seems a bit strange to have such a distant connection recorded on her tree. She was most belligerent in her reply too, as if to say why shouldn't I have them there? |
