Surprise, surprise! [View all]

After much research, it turns out that two families on the side of my father's mother kept intermarrying. Cousins, uncles, etc. The same names keep turning up as maiden names for marriage records. One marriage in the Thirties was such a union with "second cousins" actually written on the registration. Can't wait to see my DNA results . . . . . .
