..I'm losing count of the number of ways we have connections ;)
Likewise. I think it's four now but it could be more!
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Yes, that's right.

No relation but...

The further back we go there's so many people marrying into the same families as there wasn't the thought/transport/need/want to be 'elsewhere' & smaller communities all with same names.

I have a few of my ancestors separated within different trees as there were so many 'marry-ins' with each line, I couldn't work out things & this was on FTM with so many same forenames/surnames/dates, it had me completely baffled as to whether the 'prompts' for people were the correct folk but fun as my FTM must have been confused too  ???  ::)  ;D
