What's your greatest find?
My greatest find was the family connection of my husbands great grandfather. We knew a little about him and where he came from but throught Genes was able to make connection with a cousin in the Uk that had lots of information.
The best was while on holiday in England last year we were able to met him and his wife, so exciting.

I agree with you about Genes Reunited as I've just made contact with another branch of the family who I recently found on Genes Reunited.

I never thought I would ever know my father's side of the family in the UK, the descendants of the people that my g-grandfather left behind when he emmigrated to Canada. I didn't know anything about my g-grandfather and neither did my father, I only had a name and a marriage record and that he had left the family shortly after my grandfather's birth. When I joined genes I had found my g-g-grandfather on the census' and followed the family back to Buckinghamshire. I thought that was all I would ever know, just names and dates, but I was in for a wondrful surprise when cousins began to contact me through genes. Now I know more about what happened to my g-grandfather's siblings and their descendants. I have a whole set of cousins I never knew, I just wished my father had lived long enough to know them too. So for me, the directons was 'forward" instead of backward for my greatest find.
