yes!!!!!
A frist cousin (my dad's sister's daughter) that I knew existed (I have
her families picture) but had no contact with or for posted to another group
I'm in, with lots of new info.
For example my dad's name was Quentin which usually means a fifth child,
but we only had 3 older siblings listed. Her short posting gave the first
born's name and dates which we had no record of!
As you can guess I'm excited... I've emailed her, but haven't recieved a
reply yet.
