... WOW! Interesting, Terpe ... very likely your wife's grandmother knew the good Dr Jovito Derla and his wife, Lily. Lily is Myrna's *first-degree cousin [as it's *called in the Phils] ... and - by a happy family coincidence - Lily's brother, Raphael Pond is married to Dr Jovito's sister, Exaltacion. And it was in Raphael & Exal's house in the Merville Subdivision of Tagum City that Myrna and I were wed in December 2008.

It IS, indeed, a "small pool we swim in" ... as Tawi writes in his thread yesterday ... in this case a "genes pool" in the true sense of the word. Tell me, my friend - if you don't mind me asking - what's your wife's family surname?
