Are You My Cousin? The Sequel

A funny thing happened at the library Saturday. I didn't think anyone was going to come to the planned day, so I had determined I wasn't going. Then, one person said she'd come. Changed plans and headed up there Saturday morning. After passing a strange accident (only can decide that the driver must have not known that stretch of the feeder was no longer 2 way), we made it there just before opening. My friend showed later and was only going to be able to stay a little over an hour. It was fun though, showing her around and seeing her excitement at the possibilities ahead of her (yes, she wants to spend an entire day now).

Anyway, after she left, my mother and I decided to go ahead and stay. I was sitting at the table when a lady had asked the librarian a question about Native American research. I looked up and thought she was vaguely familiar. Later, I saw her again with the librarian and heard her mention Pocahantus, but I could tell it was actually about some other name because she said something about a nicname. It made me think about the family folklore of Hortense Pohautas, but I continued on whatever it was I was doing.

Later, my mother was elsewhere in the library and I could hear her as she apparently greeted this lady and they spoke of how they probably hadn't seen each other in about 20 years. They were talking more late and my mother came up and said she might be related to me. Her frend of 30 years (and yes, I knew her too) said she was researching Pages and Martins that had come from SC to MS to TX- hmmm, sounded quite familiar to her. I asked her the name of her Page, and yep, he was in my database. In fact, her father was in my database! I think I may have thought of her when I put in that info but I thought it was her married name, not her maiden name!!! Furthermore, the research on Native American, well,she found out the information from a posting....from me!! She hadn't made the connection and why would she.

So, in just a short time, I have found two people I know are my cousins. So, could you be?? Start researching and we could find out.
