	Yes Joy, I have that too and sometimes my head reels from it. My MIL was born 1923 in Lanarkshire to a Glaswegian mother and an Aberdonian father. Her parents ancestries were poles apart, yet I discovered that they each had relatives/cousins born in the 1800's who married each other. The marriage took place in London, England A child born from this marriage also married into the Aberdeen ancestral family of my MIL. On her Lanarkshire side, she also had a gg uncle who married MY ancestral cousin! The children born to that marriage share 2 separate, otherwise unconnected sets of ancestral grandparents with my children?
