If you are not a regular Facebook user – you might want to change your mind!  There is a wealth of useful information and help available via social networking.  We all know how networking can help us so much with family tree research, well social networking is another strand to that.

There are many groups on Facebook specially focussing upon Genealogy and family history.  There are some that focus on just a particular place or area.  You could be finding contacts who can help you with your research – don’t miss out!

Have you ever had the feeling that something is missing?    Sponsored by Genes Reunited, Long Lost Family returns to ITV1 on April 12th for a second series!   Imagine meeting your mother for the first time, or being reunited with the son you gave up for adoption.

Hosted by Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell, each episode of Long Lost Family helps those that have been desperately searching for years, trace and reunite missing relations.   In the first episode of the series, we hear  emotional adoption stories. Stella Stanley, from the Cotswolds, has been searching for her daughter. Stella  gave her up for adoption when she was 18 months old and is desperate to be reunited.   Will she finally find her long lost daughter?  Get the box of tissues ready and tune in to find out!

Long Lost Family is on ITV1 – Thursday, April 12 at 9pm.
