when I gain contact with a newfound 'distant rellie' I'm only too happy to e-swap all famhist documents/info/photos as it helps both side. I've done this with several cousins in Canada, Denmark, London, Essex, Cheshire and Liverpool (my birth city) and it saves a lot of money and time trawling various website, most of which charge the earth. I also, where possible, try to swap research in that if somebody wants something checking where I live and they can check something their end for me, we do so. It's a great way to save on the £'s and also make new friends. I was just trying to check something on the Irish BMD site and was appalled to find they wanted 5 euros to look at each of the many possible matches that showed up!
