Tonight I got to meet another 3rd cousin once-removed. Her name is Beth. She’s Pastor Gerry’s sister. Cool, huh? Took us some time to figure out exactly the lineage that makes us all related. Here’s the scoop.

Gerry’s mother, Joanne was born to Harold K. Sheets. Harold was born to Enos Sheets. Enos was born to John Sheets.
My father, Paul Sheets was born to Jim Sheets. Jim was born to John G. Sheets. John G. Sheets was born to Ezra Sheets. Ezra was born to John Sheets.

Ezra and Enos were brothers.

This makes Pastor Gerry and I third cousins once removed.

It also makes Pastor Gerry & Wenda’s three teenagers my fourth cousins!

  4. Yeah – he let me know – how stupid was I that I didn’t know that! I thought it was some deep theological thought!

  5. Thanks for the family tree reminder. I knew you and Gerry were related, I just couldn’t remember how!

    Your first cousin once removed, Robin

  6. Sher’s last comment made me laugh out loud. Looks like you guys are livin’ it up. Once you settle down, we “masses” are looking forward to some film reviews! (Transformers!!!) — Your cousin (please don’t remove), Bethany

  7. Am I the only one that didn’t follow a thing he typed and felt like I was reading the book the Bible “Numbers”??!!

    Hmmm, wonder what that makes you in relationship to me?

    Since you didn’t get to slide out, but instead were “removed out” from me, does that make you my Cesarean, taken out, offsprung son? HMMMM?

    Seems you troubled some readers with your family history lesson!

    Love you always Ctoos!
    Momma

  10. Eww, Mom Sheets, Eww!

  11. Babe, you forgot to mention that Wenda, Gerry’s wife, is related to my sister. She is married to Wenda’s first cousin, once removed! Crazy!
