  • Lost Cousins

    Lost Cousins have just sent me this link for their newsletter.



    There's often quite interesting items in it.

    Also if you join lost cousins and submit 1881 census information for your rellies there's a chance someone else might match with you.

    I must admit haven't looked for awhile but think they added the matches for1841 census too.



    Researching Irish families: FARMER, McBRIDE McQUADE, McQUAID, KIRK, SANDS/SANAHAN (Cork), BARR,

      I had what I thought was a good match and replied, but never got an answer. This was over a year ago.

      I must admit, I got the same email and deleted it without reading. I don't look at the lost cousins site anymore.

        Same here Margaret. I've never had any contacts at all.:( I too just delete the e-mail without reading it.

          I joined also but have never had a match.
          The idea, in theory, is quite good though but I never really look at the site now.

            Now that the FTF gedcom database has reached critical mass, I'd think there's more chance of a match here.

              Not sure what you mean by that, Uncle John. Surely there are loads more people listed on Lost Cousins than there are on our GEDCOM?

                I find more 'lost cousins' by them coming across my website on the Pursgloves of Sussex than any of these pay sites.

                Even found one that was in the street next to me when I grew up and we did not even know we were related until she sent a message to my site's email address.

                  Just that I've noticed an increasing number of people reporting family connections. A bit unscientific, since I don't know how many connections Lost Cousins throws up.

                    The only thing I have to thank for my new "connections" is google...and a reasonably unusual surname which didn't bring up many results!

                      Lost Cousins is the only site I have ever had a connection with one of MY blood relations. All the other connections I've had from internet sites are my OH's family

                      Actually, thinking hard about it, I fibbed, :o - I have also had a connection with my 2nd cousin twice removed in Canada, whose 5 year old message on RootsWeb I answered.
