An 81-year-old woman met her 103-year-old mother at her home in Scotland last month after a search that had gone on more than 60 years. Given her age and the probable age of her mother, the likelihood of a reunion was remote, but Mackin never gave up hope. They pieced together enough of the genealogical puzzle to locate the woman Mackin had been looking for. The woman she had sought for so long was sitting in the livingroom, and Mackin approached and explained she had come from Ireland to see her. I’m just so happy and I’m so grateful.”
