[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just connected with a man via email because of a DNA match. His great-grandfather and my mom's great-grandfather were siblings. And we know they had one other brother. They lived in a small village in Ukraine (think Fiddler on the Roof). My mom's great-grandfather came to the US in the late 1800s. We're not sure if his great-grandfather ever came to the US, but his children came in the early 1900s.

Before this DNA match, we did not know of one another. It's neat to fill in the blanks of our families and how we are related. I am also in contact with two other descendants of these three brothers. Just a couple of generations ago, these families all knew each other. It's pretty cool to reconnect and learn the history of how they all got to the US and how the families fared. [/quote]

On my husband's side, his sister and her husband found out that 5 generations ago they both had an ancestor who lived on St Helena island. This was due to the same last name. They do not know if they could have been a siblings or cousins
