Just had to tell someone!
« on: Wednesday 27 September 06 14:52 BST (UK) »
I've just had a contact through GenesReunited  who are connected to a family who have been tricky to trace.  Just hope he has lots of info for me........pathetic isn't  it to get so excited about this.

Will go and have a cuppa and calm down.......

Oh no, it's not pathetic, it's wonderful. I have only started tracing my family recently, but I can imagine how frustrating it must be to come up against a brick wall.

Congratulations and I agree with Kath and Kate.  Besides if you don't share it with us here when you get excited your family think you have gone nuts (or in my experience anyway) ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D

Good for you  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I rarely get any contacts, so I know the feeling of excitement.  I've had to calm down a bit now though, as I've realised that I may come across as a stalker  ;)

Well done

This site is great for showing your excitement without being dragged away by men in white coats who have been called by your family

I don't get half as much fun telling my family as I do telling everyone on here
