Ancestry.com has this really cool new feature. I click the button and it tells me the exact relationship of a person in my family tree to me. For example, tonight while chatting with the 1st Great grand Niece of the Husband of My Husband's Grand Aunt, I got an email from the Grand niece of the Husband of a Grand Aunt regarding a planned visit with a Nephew of the Husband of the Grand Aunt.
And his wife.
We also checked a few facts on the tree, after which I messaged my 1st Cousin 1x Removed regarding the possibility of getting together over the holidays and to see if she has the emails for two other 1st cousin 1x removed. Then I gave her the emails of two Grand Nephews of the second Wife of my Great Grandfather, who are actually first cousins to each other and second cousins to her.
I think.

I'm glad you are having such success with the geneology. I went onto the site a few years back to see what data was there, and updated for our family what I knew, but that was it for me. (I leave all that to my mother's Mormon relatives!)
We're lucky out here because we have a lot of the LDS Family History centers in town. I have one just a mile from my house and the ladies there have been very helpful. Ancestry.com is great for records on this side of the ocean, but for the Italian stuff, I have to go to the microfilm.
Let me know if you'd like help on the ancestry.com part of it. I have a new-found cousin who'd stopped looking because she figured she found all there was. An email, a phone call and a couple of records pointed out by me and she's now the Ancestry Queen of that branch of the tree.
