Dear Mike,
Thank you for yet another success! Some time ago you were kind enough to trace the name and address of someone with the name I was researching. I recently contacted this lady and it seems we are indeed distantly related. Some of her stories confirmed theories within my own family but she had a great deal of information to fill the stories out. Her family had researched their roots some time ago and she told a story of two immigrant brothers arriving in Ireland from Germany 200 years ago. There was a family quarrel and a rift and their subsequent families were unaware they were related. It seems my family were connected with one strand of the family although neither group knew of my grandfather's link to them. It's going to be a very interesting time getting to know the people involved.
Thank you for all you have done to make this possible.
Maureen
