You know exactly who I'm talking about. She who shall not be named. And if you don't - Slovenia. Malaria. Put it together.

You need to up your meds or move to the political board, sicko.

#1 That sicko has been on a few boards. Still crying over the election, taken over his pitiful life.

I have connected with many 'relatives' on Facebook but these are my relations via my husband (who is not on FB) only. It is a very unusual last name and, because one of his cousins did a bunch of geneology I know they definitely same family! Sadly - while it is fun to reach out - way way too many of them are just not my kind of people so there will not be any reunions planned

Not every mention of her name (or his) belongs in politics. Stop sounding so unhinged, sicko.

I am related to anyone with my maiden name. We can trace it back to our roots, about 150 years ago, so on the rare (very rare) occasion someone shows up on Facebook or google with our last name, it's fun to figure out how we are connected.

As long as the writer is not insisting on visiting you at home or asking for $$, I don't see anything bad in these messages.

Same thing and same experience. I don't find anything sinister about this. I've never found a family connection but I've exchanged emails explaining what villages my family is from, etc.

Why would you consider this a "long lost relative"? He's simply asking if you might be related because you have the same rare last name.

The index of suspicion and drama is way too high.

I am French with roots from Luxembourg and my name is also quite rare.
I did some research and found some distant relatives in the US and I wrote them, we exchanged a few messages and it was really nice.
Nothing came out of it but the lady once told me to stop by if I ever came to her area someday

Malaria?

He probably wants to see if Malaria has invited you to the WH yet. He doesn't want to miss out.
