I am still in contact with one of my grammar school friends , we were in the same class year 2 of the school 1948-9 , lost touch when I went to live in South Africa for 10 years but through a contact on Genes Re United in New Zealand , who turned out to be my friends cousin, unknown to either of us Pam and I re established contact with one another, no meet ups just a couple of letters a year .
I did make contact through Friends Re United with a woman , we both attended the same primary school first or second year 1940-41 , neither remembered each other but did know of the names of two or three of our teachers , we didn't pursue matters.
And on Ancestry Family Tree I have just made contact with a man, only living a short distance from me (30miles) whose grandmother was my aunt, not certain what our relationship is, second cousins maybe ? We have met up and such a nice man so pleased to have found some family, a photograph of his mother shows a strong resemblance to my aunts daughter.
AND we made contact with my husbands mother , she was 92 and he was nearly 60 , had to be so very careful not to upset her or cause any problems for her but he now has a photograph of him and his mum together . He was fostered at six weeks old and then formally adopted aged 7. and had had no contact with his birth mother since aged 7.
We took her out to lunch at her favourite pub and she and he sat there looking at me with the same eyes , quite an uncanny experience.
