My Ancestry Luck

Via the Message Boards, I received an email from a "stranger" who was providing some friendly ideas on where to look for a name. But in closing, this stranger provided an incredible statement, one that produces those genealogy chills. Turns out his grandfather had married my grandmothers sister. We were related, and he knew little about my side of the family. But the names he had finally made the positive connection to three families, a connection I had been looking for the last 10 years! And that made the positive connection back to the ancestors in Germany, and their location. Thank you, kind sir, for your inadvertent act of kindness.
