    I would love this. I have recently started researching my Mother’s side of the family. None of my brothers or sister knows anything about our maternal grandparents family. I am hoping to put the pieces together for all of us.

  53. Libby Brinton

    I’ve liked Find My Past on FB for some time. I’ve been researching my family genealogy for over 25 years and just last year l learned I had a 1st cousin once removed. I had been unaware my cousin had married and had a son. Now he and his family are quite close to my daughter. She has also become interested in our family genealogy and will continue when I die.

  56. Robert Peake
