How are we related?

I recently received an email message from someone living in Cleveland whose ancestors were PIMSNERS and who came from Metzenseifen.  Are we related? she asked?

It took me a few minutes of searching my database before I could give her the answer I just guessed – YES!

I then explained ‘how’ we were related.  WAY back, towards the beginning of my family records, were two brothers.  I am descended from one and she is descended from the other. (I had to put on paper our ‘exact’ relationship, and it came out to be either 6th or 7th cousins with one or two times removed…  I hadn’t received where SHE fit in at that time…)

How fun, for me, to share the information I have already gathered to help someone fill in blanks they didn’t even know existed :->

As I’ve mentioned before, ALL Pimsners are related (with the exception of one ‘line’ I am aware of…)!!
