I get teased about it as a lot of my tree is from Appalachia, then I tell them they they were FROM LONG ISLAND, way back.in the 17th century. Ha! Of course it was common back then. When your entire village is pretty much a transplant from the village in the "old country", and the next town is a day's travel away, not much chance for a change in the gene pool.

Yes, we had a couple of branches that crossed in Tennessee in the early 1800s.

PO1 (Join to see) The cousins I discovered were as a result of my going to Columbus, OH to search for records. The first one was my favorite aunt. The "informant" on her death record drove me to see 2 other cousins, one whom I had no recall of!
