"Many thanks for your work, it has unlocked a lot of information that has proven helpful to me. I certainly cannot have found this without your help. Subsequently I have found a photo of my grandfathers biological uncle and the resemblance is uncanny and so without a shadow of a doubt I know they are our relatives."
