Genealogy - we're all family....

Once in the distant past there were three young men who were inseparable, until moves took two of them out of town. Berserk and The Orb were two of the three. So it was fun to figure out the family ties when those two became related when each of them had sisters that married brothers. All this is ancient history.

Now the third has joined the extended family. His younger brother recently married Berserk's aunt's sister in law.

Thanks to Carolyn for putting together the pieces when she saw the wedding announcement on the fridge when picking up Samara, who was visiting the aunt.

Mileage for today - 2 trips to church and one visit to a member getting ready for a baptism - 21.5 miles, total for month=411

Took me a couple of read-throughs to figure out the genealogy. Now that I know what I've read, that's pretty cool.

Try Shawn...
Berserk - how many siblings in that family? And I would guess that Paul doesn't know he's related.

Carolyn said...

naw I'm sure he doesn't... and turns out it was Bart's cousin not sister, so it's even more distant than I thought :)

Cousin, sister. I'm not quite sure I understand the difference... Remember, I'm my own cousin. You can get much more closely related than that!
