    Ten years ago I started this thread. I wanted to know what had happened to my father's brother. I hadn't a clue. My father aged five was in the workhouse and we knew so little about the family. My father died when I was one year old and we never knew of any family. Through this thread I got a lead, perhaps my uncle was sent as a Home child to Canada and there was a possible match given. For ten years I researched this person's family and made contact. I don't think that family were convinced and I was so hoping one day I would be able to make a definite connection. Today I have the DNA results and yes it is my uncle. I am so pleased, thank you everyone and I am sorry that it has taken me so long to tell you all that your help was so crucial. From a very happy happy person.

    Hello Elma
    What a wonderful result for you. Your patience and persistence paid off. I hope the Canadian family are as happy as you to have the relationship confirmed.

    Thanks too for coming back and letting those who helped with this search know what has been confirmed. It gives us all a warm glow and a reason to never give up.
