frankly my dear...

so i go in to check an updated ancestry hint and verify that its actually our relative and i see something else...

another person's tree that is connected to ours through my grandmother had a new relative added.
it was like a whole new tree of people that come from my mother's great-grandfather.  how unreal is that!!  its so neat.

his name is frank and hes got siblings and kids and grandkids,etc.  what's interesting is that they were all from vermont.  for a bunch of family that went from spain to california, its really weird to us to find a whole other side of the family that ended up in vermont.  :)
