I recently got a PM from a guy who discovered, via Google fluther answers, that his mother and I are second cousins. Her grandmother was my Finkel grandfather’s sister. We are now reconnecting and learning new info about the family back in Lithuania in the 1888’s. Remarkable.

@gailcalled Thats incredible. What an arrangement! Do you plan on meeting each other? I think this is just so wonderful. I’ve always wanted to find out more about my family. Way to go! :)

When the winter here finally ends (in two or three years), we’re going to try. Now I am about to send her a 95 page copy of my grandfather’s autobiography, which starts with his birth, in 1871, in Serey, Lithuania.

My sis and I are neighbors, and are both about 2 hrs from NYC. This woman lives in Manhattan, so we will will figure something out.

@gailcalled That is so great! I’m really happy for you guys. I hope everything turns out well for you all. :) And keep us updated if you can. I think that reconnecting with long lost family members is fantastic. And to think you find them on Fluther….. :)
