Interesting; I have the Frisian haplotype. I guess we must be distantly — hopefully very distantly — related.
I can relate. All of my life I have been telling people that I am not related to the Massachusetts Kennedys (see my tagline). My ancestors are from Scotland and theirs are from Ireland. I took up genealogy last year and found out that we had common ancestors in Scotland about five hundred years ago, making RFK, Jr., my 11th cousin. I guess I need to change my tagline.
