Saturday Night Genealogy Fun: Do You Have Any Ancestors from Whom You Descend Two (or more) Times?

I wish I could answer the question from this week's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun challenge in detail.

Come on, everybody, join in and accept the mission and execute it with precision.

1.  Do you have any ancestors from which you descend two (or more) times?

2.  Tell us how you descend from these ancestors on your own blog post, in a comment here, or on your Facebook page.  Be sure to leave a link to your report in a comment on this post.

[Thank you to Linda Stufflebean for suggesting this topic!]

On my mother's side of the family, I am (as far as I know) 100% Ashkenazi Jewish.  Which means that it's highly likely that I have ancestors from whom I descend two or more times.

But because that side of my family is Ashkenazi Jewish, I don't have the documentation to show that.  And my DNA research is hampered by endogamy caused by the high likelihood that I have ancestors from whom I descend two or more times.

So to question 1, I say, "Hell, yes!"

And to question 2, I say, "I wish I could!"

But I can provide an example of this from my family.  My granduncle's wife filled out her Social Security application and listed the same surname for her father and her mother.  Apparently the person accepting the form commented that she was supposed to provide her mother's maiden name, because in the upper right corner of the SS-5, Beaty wrote a note:  "My mother and father were first cousins and had the same last name."
