LOL. Anyway, third cousin, whatever--it's just neat that the person got in touch and sent you the book, and that you've found another connection from this!<br /><br />I agree with the comments re: your welcome sign, it looks terrific! So much better to make one (for far less) than buy one at Michael's, unless it's a 70 or 80% off deal. LOL.<br /><br />Take care, I hope you don't get another deluge!

The ground can't always absorb it all, and the flooding - and the lack of absorption to store as moisture, does no one any good.<br /><br />Yes, I think you and the author would be third cousins. Your grandparents would be cousins (also called first cousins) and your parents second cousins. In case you are wondering, the 'removed' bit comes in when there is a next generation in one of the branches. For instance, you and the author are third cousins, but D would be the author's third cousin once removed (but fourth cousin to the author's children). Eli would be his third cousin twice removed.<br /><br />And on the subject of removal, that's what I'd do if I saw those alien faces in a mirror!John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098840169301919183.post-54318882299277721252022-07-24T08:10:46.992-06:002022-07-24T08:10:46.992-06:00Thanks Carole.

I'm happy to see that they're finding their mojo. Though it's interesting it isn't the regular big bats that are making the difference.

She found the book, and being part of Ancestry decided to locate a relative and found me. <br />That's wonderful you were able to connect with family.

It is fun to meet up after finding each other. I got to do that with a distant cousin of my dad's. I met them long after daddy passed - he didn't even know about them. The hoot was - the guy and my dad looked a lot alike and even dressed alike.<br />Hope you have a great weekend. Oh, by the way, love the sign!!!!Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.com
