Tonight was so weird!

[BC_MoM]

Tonight I was on MSN when someone when a .co.uk MSN address messaged me. He was swearing at me and such. I noticed the .co.uk and kind of recognized the email address.

I asked him if his name was David. It was. I asked him if he lived in Wales. He did.

I told him he was my cousin. He replied by swearing at me more and saying I was no cousin of us his and he blocked me.

I emailed him, telling him to hear me out and listing off my immediate family who had come from Europe.

(Last winter, my Nana had given a cousin of mine in Wales my MSN address and he never talked to me).

So he unblocked me and said, "Oh my God.. are you serious???" and he asked if I knew certain people like Cora. "Yes," I said, "She's my great aunt". And he said, "She's my Nana!"

So I prooved him wrong! He IS my cousin! Our Nana's are sisters, our Mom's are cousins. It was SO weird!!

We ended up talking a whole lot, and he went on webcam and microphone and we told our families, who called other relatives.

It's the first relative I've talked to from Europe, except for a few older relatives who have come over to Canada to visit (only 4 of them). He's only 4 months older than me.

Wow. What a weird day! But all in all, he seems really cool! I'm looking forward to getting to know him more!

how did he get your email address and why was he swearing at you?

[BC_MoM]

My Nana gave it to him while she was in Wales once. He was swearing at me because, well, I don't know exactly, he said it was his friend; but because he didn't know who I was at the time.

What a great story (except for the swearing). I LOVE finding family members. I called my long lost uncle who the rest of the family sort of disowned. He's my mother's brother. I hadn't seen him since I was 15 (we're talking almost 40 years. I connected with him and have kept in touch (without letting the rest of my family know). I also spoke to his daughter, Maryanne. My uncle told me things about my family I never knew before, and also help me with some medical history, now that I have no one else to confirm it with. I never knew my grandfather had a brother John. Go figure.

I hope you can eventually meet up with your cousin.

That's cool you found him. Wales would be a cool place to visit!

My grandfather has spent years looking for family in Germany, and finally found a relative that wrote him back! It's always fun to find long lost family members.

At least that's what I think happened.
