I wrote to somebody sharing common ancestors, asking if they would like the details from recent certificates that I had ordered.

They replied that they would, so I sent off all the details I had obtained through GRO. I had spent ages researching to find the info.

I'm still waiting for the magic word.. :-(

edit - not on GR lol

'Thank you' - a phrase gradually going out of fashion, unfortunately.

Even if they thought it a 'business' type transaction (which it isn't), surely a 'thank you' would be appropriate?
I despair sometimes.

I would be over the moon if I got any info about my rellies.

Please and Thank You seem to be words people forget to use nowadays..

And it's for the worst..

It don't cost anything to be polite..

be cheeky

email them again, and ask if they had received the information as you are afraid that you might have got the wrong address
