Guess it has happened forever...through the centuries. Thanks to all for their positive
and thoughtful comments on my "real" comment.

I really never thought that that was so common......back in 1799, thought
they were very conservative.....

After reading this entire group of emails, I am laughing, not at you
all,
but at the situation, which is the same that I found myself about 8-9
years
ago when I found out that the ydna of my Braswell male cousins did not
match any other Braswell in the project. After that I searched until I
found out they matched the Riggs name. It so happened that there were
several Riggs families right in the area and actually his son-in-law was a
Riggs, so something occurred there that wasn't written down and it must
have happened around 1799. This occurs quite often. I still feel like a
Braswell even though my male Braswells are probably blood Riggs. But it
was
a shock.
