Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:
It's Saturday Night again -
Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!
Our mission tonight from Randy Seaver of Genea-Musings is to:
1) Do you have any ancestors from which you descend two (or more) times?
[thank you to Linda Stufflebean for suggesting this topic!]
Here's mine:
I do not have this situation. My parents are not related in any way, one family has been here in the U.S. since colonial times, and the other came in the 19th Century. My husband’s family is the same. His mother’s family is from Sweden and his father’s family is from Cornwall and Germany.
However, my husband’s mother, Thelma, is related to her cousin in two ways: first cousin and second cousin. Her mother’s brother, John Lundquist married Signe Johnson. They were first cousins. John’s parents were Matilda Erickson & Per Alfred Lundquist. Signe’s parents were Carolina Eriksson and Charles Emil Johnson. Carolina and Matilda were sisters, daughters of Karl Erickson and Stina Maja Samuelsdotter.
So, according to the RootsMagic relationship tool, Thelma was related to John and Signe’s son, Ken, as a first cousin through their grandparents and as a second cousin through sharing the same great-grandparents.
It's so nice when it can be documented!
ReplyDeleteI've found some Swedish collateral lines who are double descents, but my own multiple descents are from colonial New England.
