Hi Irene, I got your letter but it didn't have your friend's answer in it. I know what you mean about everyone being related. At one time, I worked in retail and the manager got frustrated because I kept pointing out customers that were related to me. She said "Oh, everyone's your cousin!" in a sarcastic tone. After I started doing genealogy, I found out that she was my step second cousin. After my great-grandmother left my great-grandfather, she married the great-grandfather of the manager. Patricia

HER ANSWER WAS THAT WE WERE ALL RELATED.GUESS YOU THOUGHT I WROTE THAT. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Triciad20@cs.com> To: <HCGS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 9:19 AM Subject: [HCGS] Names of children > Hi Irene, I got your letter but it didn't have your friend's answer in it.
