Dear Barhop, that really is fantastic news. I'm very happy for you. It's a good feeling to find something concrete after a long time, as I know what you mean.

Try posting another journal letting everyone know your full research. That way you can come into contact with a family historian who is or may have been already researching some of the same ancestral lines as yourself.

The more information you include in your journals, the better. And everyone should update their profiles too. It's helpful to know everyone's country of origin.
