Thank you both for that information and yes Kay i have a lot to digest here but i do know you are on the right track and if it wasnt for all the help i have received from you all i would never got as far as finding a second cousin and we have so much to talk about but the uncanny thing is there are so many similarities between us including having the same names and interests.  My mum was really pleased when i told her that i had found her cousin as she didnt think there were any relatives on her side still alive and also it has been confirmed what we always believed and that we are of Jewish decent but still to work out where from lol.  I will be back with more questions for you but all i can say at the moment thank you so much your hard work is very much appreciated, i have told all my friends about these groups as they are fasinated by what i am doing, i only wish i had done this years ago.

once again many thanks to you Kay & co.
