Answer 5

I first met Greg on WikiTree when we bumped into each other on the same family profiles.  I am 9th cousins 1x removed with him, but more than once (through different ancestors).

Answer 6

Yes! I met Greg when he was categorizing my ancestors. It was quite a suprise to find someone else interested in profiles from Liancourt-Saint-Pierre, Oise, France and neighbouring villages. It turns out we have 5 common ancestors from these tiny Vexin villages. We're 8th cousins 3 times removed but only 18 degrees apart on the connection finder.

Answer 7

Yes! Our connection is 19 degrees and it is green all the way - we are 9th cousins.  We are both descended from 3 different couples back in the early days of New France.

Answer 8

I'm super late to this thread but recently I "met" Greg when he and my dad turned out to have matching yDNA, confirming both of our Lavoie lines back to René de la Voye, b. 1628 in France! So exciting! :D
