My DH's ancestor was Rebecca Nourse, one of the victims of the Salem Witch Trials. An ancestor of my boss was Judge John Hathorne who ran the Salem Witch Trials. My boss also has the same birth last name as my DH (Johnson) but they are not related.
While working in a bookstore in Groton MA, an older female customer and I got talking and at one point she said I looked very familiar. Thinking I must look like someone from the area, I told her I had just moved to town. She asked me where I was from originally. When I told her I grew up in the large city of Brockton MA, she seemed surprised and said she too had grown up in Brockton. And then she asked me if I knew a particular man... turns out the man is my father. She said once we got talking something about me reminder her of her very first boyfriend... my father, who she hadn't seen since she moved from Brockton at age 14. This was strange to me because everyone says I look and sound just like my mother, whom this woman never met.
