14. Parts of my mom's maternal and paternal sides were from VA well over a century ago

And about 30 years ago, I ran into one of them, an older gentleman, when going to lunch near my work building, when he was up visiting here in Philly trying to get an expedited passport. He approached and apologized before asking if I knew of a couple folks because he said I looked "familiar". I know my mom used to mention his name and that whole branch down there and I was like "wow"... and we ended up chatting about relatives for about 20 minutes before he and I had to go.
