What Luck Today, Thanks to a Follower

As I was about to look at recent posts of others, and hopefully make comments, my eyes glanced to my Followers list, and saw that it increased today.  I have been very lax in looking at everybody's site, and to tell the truth, I am not sure if I follow everybody who follows me, something I hope to change.

My new follower has a great list of her ancestors, so I went directly to her Dutch names. And I almost passed out, when I was done looking at all her names. Betty Tartas of Betty's Boneyard Genealogy Blog and I share 13 ancestors!  What a nice thing to find on a Saturday afternoon, while waiting for the Easter cake to bake. Betty, if you read this, it is very nice being a multiple cousin of yours.

Our shared names are:

CORNELIS HENDRICKSE VAN NESS
SYMON JANSEN VAN ARSDALEN
HANS HANSEN BERGEN
JORIS JANSEN de RAPALIE
JAN GERRITSE STRYKER
THOMAS KILBORN / KILBOURNE
