for several years I have worked with someone who shared the same surname (Monty) as my paternal grandmother and I often wondered if we were related. Finally, after much searching on GR and other sites I have found that our great great grandfathers were brothers and so that makes us 3rd cousins. It's amazing that we've worked together all this time and not known of our link!
I have also made contact with a 2nd cousin via GR. It's just amazing!!!!!!
