I’m a highschool English instructor and I met Sharon once I began working at my present faculty. Sharon was one of many girls in our scholar providers workplace, so I’d meet her each morning once I went to select up my roll, or if I simply wanted to test in about one thing. She was my first level of name each morning. I assumed she was pretty. She was extremely approachable. If I ever had any fast questions on something, I by no means felt afraid to ask her. We’d have a chat each morning and acquired alongside rather well.
I’d executed a type of Ancestry checks earlier than I began working on the faculty however I hadn’t appeared by way of my DNA matches correctly but. I’d been on the faculty for about 4 or 5 months when my mum began complaining that she didn’t know something about her aspect of the household, so I opened Ancestry again up and had a greater take a look at my matches. That’s once I noticed Sharon’s picture in my household tree. I went, grasp on a minute, scrolled again and yelled, “Oh my god, that’s the woman from the workplace!” I ran and located my mum and instructed her. It was a Sunday night time and I couldn’t wait to get to work to ask Sharon if it was truly her.
I acquired to high school the following day and went straight into the scholar providers workplace. I held a screenshot of our match up on my cellphone, handed it throughout the desk to Sharon and mentioned, is that this you? She leaped up and went, “Oh my god, it's me! What’s happening? What’s taking place?” And I mentioned, “I believe we’re associated.” It was simply extremely thrilling.
We sat down, tried to determine precisely how we had been associated and who we had been associated by way of. Then Sharon went dwelling that night time and made up a bit household tree to trace it on a chunk of paper. It seems our grandmothers are double cousins – so two brothers from one household married two sisters from one other household. That makes us fourth cousins.
Our households as soon as each lived in Penrith in western Sydney. However Sharon’s household stayed round there, whereas mine ended up transferring out to the Blue Mountains – they then completely misplaced contact with one another. Generations later, each of our households by some means ended up in Wollongong after which Sharon and I began working on the identical faculty.
Actually, the humorous factor was simply the coincidence of all of it – by some means, from households that had been residing so far-off, we’ve ended up in the identical workspace in the identical city. It’s simply loopy.
We turned so much nearer after discovering out that we’re associated. We had, clearly, so much to speak about! Sharon ended up coming over for morning tea with my household and we went by way of the household historical past collectively. And he or she’d executed critical analysis – she had folders and binders filled with stuff and was taking us by way of all of this work that she’d executed.
Sharon’s youngest daughter is a scholar at my faculty, so we be certain that we get a household Santa picture collectively yearly. I’ve had her for the odd lesson or two and he or she’ll are available like, “Hello cuz – I imply, miss!”
Sharon and I additionally launched our two mums on the faculty musical, which was cute.
I believe discovering that Sharon and I are associated has added loads of pleasure to my life. Sharon has left the college now however we preserve involved. She’s simply one other good individual that I've in my life who is absolutely supportive, all the time round for a chat with and could be there if I wanted assist. I believe we're related in loads of methods, particularly our temperament. We’re each very extroverted, social, cheerful and optimistic.
We all the time acquired alongside rather well as a result of we each like to speak. That positively is sensible now, if we take a look at the actual fact we’re associated. It’s a type of pure matches. If I needed to be associated to anybody, I’m so glad it’s Sharon!
