In my experience, regarding contacting relatives, there are some issues to consider.

Personaly is been sweet-sour cause it is a joy to see the faces of those I long to see, ´cause at last a name from the past has a face in the present, it is an intimate joy that maybe those persons take for “a curiosity not so clear”.

I had contact some primos by phone, some of them looking also into genealogy, then I feel troubled cause there are no more stuff to share; and if meeting personaly there are no common interests.

Then if contacted by mail it is euforic and enthusiastic, but when by phone it sounds tensionated.

I feel like I have to stablish a relationship, and knowing myself that is not precisely what I want, in most cases.

There we have an issue. One has to be concious first about the object of interest, data or relationship or both? And then
to have a good plan for those we are meeting to fully understand what are we looking for and what are we doing with the data we ask for,

A person could not accept that an “unknown” one is asking for names, places and dates, and is not writing a book.

Is it a community feeling or am I alone in the corner?

What would be a good plan to be wellcome by a recently contacted relative?

Greetings.

I have an aunt, my mother’s half sister living in Tijuana…she acted like I was doing something horrible with my Genealogy research.
