When traveling I enjoy meeting and talking with new people, learning where they’re from, etc. Shortly after leaving Basel, Switzerland, this week, MSH (my sweet husband) and I sat with a couple from Montana and had a great time talking about how much we enjoy living in the PNW.
JD&LD are from the areas where my husband has lots of relatives from both his adoptive and biological families. During our chat, JD mentioned that his last name was Davidson, to which I replied “the Davidson family with buildings in Anaconda?”… Turns out yes, he is a descendant in that large Montana family which arrived in the 1800s and remains to this day
But more amazing is that I have already built a portion of his family tree because MSH’s youngest half-brother (Peter, who was adopted at birth) is a Davidson thru his birth father’s line. It was amazing that JD and I were quickly discussing names and relationships of people. Turns out that JD and Peter are second cousins, sharing a set of great-grandparents.
More on our travels soon, but I wanted to share this interesting bit of genealogy info with you.
