Tracing your family tree and finding living relatives

I have been into genealogy for about twenty years now and until recently dealt mostly with locating and finding long dead ancestors. One thing about this past time is that it brings you into contact with so many people you would otherwise have never met and all with the same goals in mind as yourself.

Recently I have struck some luck as I have been contacted by two relations ( cousins ) and they have found me through my other site Hamilton Family History. One cousin is twice removed and the other is a girl my age that I went to school with when we were small. They are both from Mum’s side of the family – there’s hardly anyone left from Dad’s side unfortunately.

It’s great though to find people, family members, who you have lost contact with and who are working away at their family history as well. With any luck we will be able to share our info and put more pieces of the jigsaw together!
