Is my Polly Blakeslee related to yours?

Question

I just found out that my great-great-great grandmother was a Polly Blakeslee, born in Connecticut.  Any connection?  http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=80090521

Answer 1

I dont' have a Polly Blakeslee, but yours is my 5th cousin 3 times removed.  that would be Blakeslee-164, not the Find A Grave person.

Comments

I suppose I am confused. I was responding to a Polly Blakeslee profile. Please elaborate on your answer, if you can. Thanks :)

Your reply, perhaps should have been on the profile of the person to whom you were replying.

 

I responded to the question in your title, to your Polly.....?

 

Sorry for the confusion, I intended only humor.

There must have been some sort of glitch. This is where I posted my question...

Humor is fine by me. It was just a bit odd when not expected. :)

Strange..... I am tracing down my Samuel Blakeslee, to see if he is her father.

 

It appears that when you post a question on a profile it gets posted in G2G, here.

It doesn't look like it, he was in her grandfather's generation, and isn't listed there. Must have been another family.

Answer 2

Polly and Kitty are 2nd cousins 5 times removed.

Answer 3

Hi SC,

I never realized that profiles have a direct link to asking G2G questions, but it sounds like a nice feature to have.

If you want to communicate directly with the profile manager, you can put a comment on the profile.  Anytime a comment is written there, it will be automatically sent by email to the profile manager.

Welcome to WikiTree!  I think you're seing right here what a friendly bunch we are - everyone's trying to let you know they're Polly's cousin ... sorry, but I can't claim a relationship to her yet ... maybe someday, though!

Answer 4

S C, Using the relationship finder tool I could find no link between your profile and the one on here.  That does not mean that they are not the same person but only that there is no connection yet between your profile and her's.
