Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:
It’s Saturday Night again –
Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!
Come on, everybody, join in and accept the mission and execute it with precision.
1) Do you have any ancestors from which you descend two (or more) times?
My original answer to this question was no — unless some of my SMITH ancestors have a common ancestor.
Knowing that I have not researched all of my lines back into the 1600s, I decided to use the FamilySearch tree to see if I could uncover an ancestor in my tree more than once. Thus, I looked at the trees for my great grandparents. When I looked at the tree of Frances Ricketts Briles, I found a set of ancestors in the tree twice.
Thus, my 5th great grandparents, James Buckles and Anne Osbourne were 1st cousins.
Thank you Randy (and Linda) for this challenge! I doubt that I would have searched my tree for such a connection without this challenge.
Being from small communities in Kentucky and having Amish and French ancestors, I have quite a few lines that climb up to the same people. It makes genealogy a little easier with fewer lines!
Who and where are you researching in Kentucky?
