Rory your interactions are hard to beat. More or less? In my view and somewhat limited experience in geneology, I find that researching and recognising relatives and their relatives is actually making more of it!! and the thrill of the chase. I also enjoy the human interest diversion, say in an airport or in a cab & someone says, "oh, you come from such & such, you must know Joe Bloggs". Sometimes I actually do. Being a member of the Sinclair clan in Australia it has been relatively easy to be able to identify people others in the clan ask about, especially relatives, but when I met so many Sinclairs from around the rest of the world, it was great to have just one or two incidences of Australians (not clan members) actually knowing Sinclairs overseas. I agree though, it is more often likely to be mathematical chance or of course the fact that like attracts like and if people share the same interests particularly in a small country like Australia its more likely that you will attend some function and will always know a few faces. Will I recognise yours?
