"We're Related"- Part 2

 As I stated in a previous blog post, I've had the "We're Related" App for awhile now and am just now starting to blog about them-- here are a few more--- 

#7:

My 5th Cousin, 7x Removed

The next few are from Facebook- family I knew I already had and then close friends that I was surprised I'm related to! (For their privacy, I will not be posting the pictures)

#11:

Chanel, a 2nd Cousin I already knew was in my tree, related to me through my dad's side of the family (Jeckering)



#12:

Krystle, 8th cousin, 1x removed. Krystle was a big surprise. There is a slight back story with her's- 

I did Krystle's family tree for her last summer when she came to visit me from out of state. While doing the research, I discovered we had a common relative on her mom's side...this common relative wasn't blood, but by marriage.

Then, when I got this app, Krystle popped up again, but as my 8th cousin, 1x Removed. Again, it was through my mom's side of the family (Mendenhall) but it was completely different line, which is really neat!



#13:

Valerie, 8th Cousin. Valerie was very similar to Krystle, a big shocker. Valerie is actually my husband's second cousin, which is why she's on my Facebook and why she's in my tree already. So, when she popped up on this app, I expected it to say something like: "Husband's 2nd cousin" or something, but it said 8th cousin. She's actually my husband's 2nd cousin and MY 8th cousin on my mom's side (Mendenhall)!!!

#18:

"Jimi Hendrix"

Musician

b. 27 Nov 1942 in Washington

d. 18 Sep 1970 in London, United Kingdom

Ancestry claims this is my 6th Cousin, 2x Removed through my mom's side (Mendenhall)- but I couldn't find the connection with what I have in my tree...the dates and/or people don't line up- even after doing some research of my own on Jimi Hendrix. 

So, I'm calling this one a-- NOPE!
