It's so exciting to make connections with cousins who "get it" -- who are as passionate as we are about family history and even have a little bit of new knowledge to share! I'm so glad you found a few (or that they found you, as it seems!) Thanks for referencing my posts and cheers to more connections!
One of the joys of blogging my family history has been the cousins I've met online. I have met many over the years, which has been extra special, as I grew up with only two cousins. Others have collaborated with me on our research,.
I've done very little research about my family, so I might know more about yours than mine :) To see the name of relatives who were born in the 1850s... that gives me pause. Thank you for sharing!
Oh, gosh, @Victoria Olsen, this kind of connection and storytelling is what this journey is all about. I'm delighted to hear about the connections you've made and that our shared "Sixteens" are starting to resonate. It brings on all the feels... 🥹

Yes! I liked the idea you spread that we can encourage the “random” serendipity of finding each other. It’s so smart— and maybe it works too!

I know what you mean. It’s great to feel the circle expanding.
Substack Serendipity is a good way of putting it. I love these connections.
Yes!

Genealogy is an obsessive hobby so be careful about picking it up. (And it was the 1650s that really gave me pause— 😁)
