Not to worry. It was more a comment for the wider audience. Sometimes there is the most incredible luck in finding connections; and sometimes there is the frustration of no reply. There are other aspects to be considered. Sometimes someone may have information, but is unable to pass it on. If I know of a connection, I generally ask the living relative if they want to follow it through, and sometimes the answer is negative. Also, I have followed up things on this Board, to find that the person posting a query is way way off the mark, (maybe a humble employee lost is the sands of time, not the business/land-owner the family have believed the ancestor to be, etc), and whose place is it to say so?
