Step #2 After You've Found a Living Descendant: Let Them Know How You're Related Right Away
To hopefully break the ice, and get them to be more willing to give you information, let them know exactly who you are right away, and how you are related to them. Also make sure you can give their parent's, and at least grandparent's names, and further if possible. Then tell them your line, and exactly how that line fits into their family tree, so they know it's not a scam. 😉
