Um, no, sadly I don't have any that come to mind .... ;)

Ruskie, I bet there are other people in your family who also have no knowledge of coincidences in your family.

However, he was adamant and would ask me most of the days I was in his class. Fast forward to the last few days I was in his class he decided to tell me more about his family - including a name I vaguely recognised (albeit a fairly common one).
It turns out he was my third cousin and seemed to have some kind of sixth sense! :o
!
My family history coincidence is going to cause problems for future researchers - two brothers married women of the same name - my sister-in-law and me - but we're completely unrelated. We have the same first name and surname but our middle names are different. I wonder how many of them will assume it's a case of two brothers marrying the same person? :)

;D You are going to be labelled as a bigamist in a lot of trees.

When I was gaining experience in schools, before applying to university for a BEd in primary mathematics, I spent some time in year 2 (6-7 year olds).
On the first day of being in a class a boy asked me if we were related. I had never seen this child before, didn't recognise his surname from being in my family tree and I didn't recognise his mum at the end of the day. However, he was adamant and would ask me most of the days I was in his class. Fast forward to the last few days I was in his class he decided to tell me more about his family - including a name I vaguely recognised (albeit a fairly common one).

Something like that happened to a couple of people I worked with. "D" came to work with us when he left college. He lived with his father and was a bit of a loner but he took a shine to a middle aged chap, "T", at work and eventually started to regularly visit "T" and his family at their home.
One day a middle aged smartly dressed woman arrived wanting to buy a product. "D" went to serve her and looked startled when she addressed him by his name, whereupon she recounted the times she met him when he was small and how she was related to him through his mother. Whilst "D" was digesting that information, in walked "T" and he too was was recognised by the woman and he in turn knew her because they were related through the same grandparents. They exchanged catch up news about the family and the woman went on her way. "D's" face showed he was bemused when he asked if he'd got it right that he and "T" were related". "Yes we are - I thought you knew", said "T".
Was it sixth sense that drew young "D" to "T", or was it the work of a higher spirit? oo-er
