unexpected development while doing a removal
« on: June 26, 2015, 03:54:23 pm »
I was talking to the homeowner & his neighbor while setting up to remove a bee colony from the base of a bay window & my last name came up. there was some bad blood between my dad & his mother so there was no interaction between his side of the family & us so I have no  knowledge of his side of the family. turns out the neighbor has the same last name & had relations who lived on the same block of the same street that my dad grew up on so this guy is most certainly a relative, probably a cousin. the neighbor also has done a lot of tracing of genealogy & has even found & visited relatives in the czech republic. my sister has recently started trying to trace our family history & was thrilled to hear of this development. the neighbor is going to meet with both of us & share whatever information he has. small world, eh?
oh- the bees are now set up in a nuc.
