In August my daughter was contacted by someone who saw her tree on Ancestry.
It was an Australian couple - the wife is has the same great-great-grandfather as OH. My Newton family from Bankside Southwark and previously Stalybridge.
We have been exchanging information fast and furious - they filled us in with all the family in Australia - a whole branch we couldn't trace before, and I was able to give them lots of details from census returns and original certificates.
I had the best Christmas present today - in the post 2 CDs (one for me, one for daughter) of the Newton Family History - all 169 pages. It includes maps, photos, etc and lots of details.
This is the 1st Edition - I'm hoping after Christmas to discover more so that a 2nd Edition is required.
It has spurred me on to think I should do something similar for each line in my tree. It would be great for other family members.
Just wanted to shared this, cos' I know you will all understand how excited I am!
