Ever discovered you are related to a friend?

Question:

Ever discovered you are related to a friend?

My best friend and I discovered that we are related. Not closely, her great-grandfather was a pioneer, who'se other descendant is my uncle!
Anyone else ever found something like that?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Sure did, my oldestbestest friend who died decades back always insisted we must be related. I had no reason to think so. To me it was more sort of symbolic because of our friendship and I didn't give it futher thought.

After reconstruction of my own direct line of our common family surname I took a look at one by one, my ancestor's siblings. Sure enough one Revolutionary Patriot had moved to her state very early 1800s and his kids and grandkids intermarried with exactly the same families she is/was from. So we are not close cousins but there is every likelihood we are cousins of some sort - and she just KNEW.
