Kathryn, I now live in Brisbane and my name is Rita (Dunstan) Wilson, Kenneth O'Leary is the name I use on Ancestry - he is my mother's youngest brother who did the O'Leary DNA Test for me. I wanted to trace my Irish Ancestry on my mother's side, which I've had quite a bit of luck with, we were in Ireland last September.
My parents separated when I was only 10, and I never had any contact with my father again until my 1st son was 18mths old when I went back to Cairns to visit my Nanna and to show her her g.grandson. I had always kept in touch with Nanna (until her death), as well as my father's only sister Edna - she is the only one still alive now and is in a Home in Ingham.
I have also researched my Dunstan / McQueen side of the family and yes had far more luck with that then the Irish side. That's probably the reason why I went further into my Hosford / McQueen side. It's funny how lost memories start coming back to you when your mind is prompted, so I guess that's why I then went into the Butler side of my g.grandmother.
If you would like to contact me on my e-mail address instead of through Ancestry I can give you that if you would like. Possibly like you over the years I have put several messages on the Ancestry Board hoping that someone who is related will one day read then.
