I met a cousin yesterday. When you attend as many genealogy conventions as I have, you will meet some distant cousins along the way. However, meeting one that shares your last name is less common. Especially, if your surname is not Smith or Cooper.

During an open house for Facebook users, I coincidentally sat down next to a women asking question about Facebook. I offered to help her setup a Facebook account right there. She accepted and I asked her name. To both our surprise, her maiden name is my surname.

So, to Pamela Pomeroy Journey I say, “Welcome to the family!”
