The best part of this story is that I was able to contact relatives in England who are related to Elizabeth! This is one of few family lines that came to this continent recently enough to track back to Europe before 1600. The rest were all quite early arrivals.

Sorry to hear of your discovery. That's somewhat more disturbing than me following one family line up, then following another line up, and having them converge on the same set of parents 6 generations ago!
