It's weird how relationships can develop as we expand our databases. I know that we are finding out how closely related we all are. But what I've found REALLY surprises me... According to my database, I am my mother's son... and her 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th cousins as well I am her 7th cousin 1x removed as well I am her 7th cousin 2x removed as well I am her 8th cousin 1x removed Besides being my father's son I am his 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th, 12th cousin as well I am his 5th cousin 2x removed as well I am his 6th cousin 2x removed as well I am his 7th cousin 1x removed as well I am his 7th cousin 2x removed as well I am his 7th cousin 3x removed as well I am his 8th cousin 1x removed as well I am his 8th cousin 2x removed as well I am his 10th cousin 2x removed as well I am his 10th cousin 3x removed as well I am his 11th cousin 1x removed as well I am his 11th cousin 2x removed I've also found that my mother and father were cousins... Not close enough to affect my mind (my opinion... not my wife's) <grin> They are 5th cousins 1x removed as well they are 6th cousin 1x removed as well they are 7th cousin as well they are 7th cousin 1x removed as well they are 7th cousin 2x removed as well they are 8th cousin as well they are 8th cousin 1x removed And I don't have my database complete yet!!!

Gary -- My parents weren't related, BUT I found out recently that my son's dad may have some "Cajun" blood, soooo. . . his dad and I may have been related, but didn't know it. I just have to find out who his great-grandmother's parents were, hopefully that will answer some questions. Brenda __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
