Simple words...yet so amazing. I spent over 2 hours today talking with a 2nd cousin from my father's side. Jane Bogle found me...after over 60 years. She didn't know I was alive. Her dad, Robert, was my fathers cousin. We never met. She is doing ancestory.com and found my sister and brother, but I wasn't listed. The reason? Someone thought Arlene and Darlene were the same person because we were born on the same day and year. But Jane felt Arlene was a twin...and after research...(and google searches) she read all about me and sent an email.
Wow! I am so happy. I didn't know anyone on the Bogle side existed or would want to know me! We have a lot in common...and I have other cousins I will soon be in contact with and get to know. And, I'm Irish and Scottish...not German! We came in through Ottawa Canada. She's glad I am alive! Everyone else she found was in the deceased status! Yeah...I'm alive. More on this saga later.

That's so exciting for you! I just found a 4th cousin in Norway whose brother is still loving on my Great=Grandmother's farm, so I know how excited you must be!
I do follow and read what you post, but I do not usually make comments. I am so glad to have finally met you and I am looking forward to seeing you again. Will you be in Orlando for GCN in January?
