Yay! Just got an email from a distant (third?) cousin of mine. She had found me on 23andme a year ago, she's a biracial artist doing a project on race and family. Her mother is Jamaican or Haitian (don't remember which) and her father was Canadian. She shares my mother's maiden name and I happen to have a detailed genealogy of that side of the family going all the way back to France in the 1700's (French-Canadian). She only knew a couple of generations back on her father's side but I was able to piece together some information and show her exactly where she sat in the family tree and fill in all those back generations for her. Now that she's vaccinated she will be traveling around the U.S. on her art project and I should get to meet her in the summer. Fun!
