I found that my paternal great-grandfather's family married a second cousin sometime after their wife died. You were just expected to find someone to be your wife when you had children to raise, and second cousins were not excluded. Sure isn't like that today! But oddly enough, my line married into another line several times. Tell me that my family tree doesn't fork!Shawn Marie Gabriel Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16305933409353473383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1792877004956236052.post-30250137890918548902010-04-16T16:43:44.383-06:002010-04-16T16:43:44.383-06:00I was shocked when I found a (very distant) connec...I was shocked when I found a (very distant) connection between my mother and father's families. Her family has very early New England roots. His family moved from England to Canada in the late 1870's and on to NY in the 1920's. What were the chances I'd find a connection in Wisconsin!? I find all these connections fascinating and often chase a line that I'm not related to just because the other relationships are interesting.Charley "Apple" Grabowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193646109965731249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1792877004956236052.post-5223440738877370962010-04-16T12:51:54.357-06:002010-04-16T12:51:54.357-06:00Becky,

I recently found that my G Grandmother on my Mom's side lived on the same road, went to the same church and was buried in the same cemetery as a cousin of my Grandmother on my Dad's side. It's a small world I guess.Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339372849441019621noreply@blogger.com
