One of the wonderful things about running a family history blog happens when someone out there in cyberland happens upon your site, reads a little and then suddenly realizes that a connection, a relationship exists. Usually (in my experience), the visitor turns out to be a distant cousin. So exciting!

This evening I got a comment on my blog from one of the children of my Dad’s Uncle Gene (as we knew him). I guess that qualifies us as cousins. I have very vague, fuzzy memories of Uncle Gene, and don’t remember any of his kids.

I hope this new cousin and I can keep in touch and share our memories!
