LostCousins - a great place to find your British cousins!

LostCousins is FREE for the rest of this year!

From now until midnight on New Year’s Eve the LostCousins site will be completely free, allowing you the opportunity to connect with as many new cousins as you can – and unlike some other sites you won’t be asked to provide bank or credit card details. Because this offer coincides with the start of my Annual Competition (see below) the ancestors and cousins you add to your My Ancestors page will also count as entries - it's a really great opportunity for anyone with British ancestry!
