KM, your post reminded me of meeting a long lost relative many years ago. She was descended form the first marriage of my great grandfather, while I was from his second. I was doing a bit of family tree research at the time - long before computers so all done by post. She lived in Wellington so we arranged a meeting next time I went up to visit a friend there since they were in the same suburb.
Once I found the street I walked down it & with ten seconds I'd recognised her - the same height as me & with the same black rings around the eyes, which is how we knew exactly where they came from - that Welsh Grandad/Great Grandad ancestor. We got on really well & remained in touch by letter until her death some years later.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
