sorry should explain a bit more.. Emma , Husbands gran, had siblings, we have traced them all etc except for one brother.. he aparrantly ostricised himself from the family, nobody knows why (as, it wasnt talked about and all that generation is dead).. could this be the missing link?

It's dependent on whether she's an auntie by marriage or not.
If not = grandma/auntie is the same person their sibling is the parent of your contact so is your father in law's cousin and hubbies first cousin once removed if it's by marriage, i.e. her parent's brother married your hubbies grandma and she's just an auntie by marriage, there's technically no blood relationship |

Hi Libby,
I am now eagerly waiting for a reply from the new found cousin, and will let you know more then, i dont even know what part of Australia they are in yet, but it will definately be a case of when not if, now regards coming over there as this is a major part of hubby's family that was the missing link. |
