Sorry Frank, I don't see any similarities at all. Doesn't gNads roots spring up from Mexico?
Her parents were originally from Poland, or her parent's parents were.
My mother's mother's mother was an
Ashkenazi, an eastern European of Judiac derivation, just as the cousin is.
I figure there's some degree of relationship there, because these people were in this area for more than a thousand years, and of course intermarried a great deal. The pie-and-jam primitive, the "grasswire" primitive, who's traced her ancestry clear back to Adam and Eve, knows this stuff, too.
My mother's mother's mother was also very short, like the oblate spheroid, but she was no oblate spheroid.
I think if the cousin and I were walking down a street together, most people upon seeing us would agree that while we're not identical twins, we must be at least fraternal twins.
