I'm was just sitting here scrolling through page after page of very interesting research and comments, when I suddenly realized many of us on this list are "related". I have spent the past 15 years researching only direct lines back to my first ancestors to come to North America. But, in the past couple of years I have been going far out on different branches based upon clues and new information from my Internet family. Even some of the collateral families I have kept in the data base, have become instant cousins when a previously unknown marriage or second marriage was discovered. Is anyone else keeping track?
