I thought I would put a little qualification on the Genes reunited site, it can be helpful however I feel that the research side to many trees is suspect. The contributors do not put any sources with their trees, and so the information is somewhat unreliable.

Have you ever tried searching for the name Micky Mouse on genes? I hear you find a few! But over all it can be a good site.

I have made contact with a couple of cousins on it - I knew about them and they knew about me but we all lost contact many years ago.
