Recently I ran into a gentleman about 75 years of age with my last surname.
>He knew my grandfather.  This gentleman told me that his father told him
that
>he and my gf were connected and that they had second cousins in the upstate
of
>SC.  I also have a cousin that said his gf said we had cousins living in
the
>upstate (before I knew of this other).  His gf and my gf were brothers.  I
can
>go back to the early 1800's with both lines and there doesn't seem to be a
>connection, however, my uncle who died last year in his 70's had a middle
name
>of Clifton and this gentleman's father had a middle name of Clifton.  Both
>families are early SC families.  What do you make of this and if I know
this
>lineage
>
>me - my father - gf - ggf - gggf
>him - his father - gf - ggf - gggf.
>
>How would my gf and his father be second cousins if there was no marriage
From
>his gggf and my gggf in our lines?  What am I overlooking?
>
>Is this just a coincidence or do you think I should pursue this?
